Is this travertine tile safe as frag discs?

[thanhreef]

I look for the bigger frag discs, but I could not find anywhere. People say travertine tile is safe to use as frag discs. I am not sure whether this is safe or not.

Travertine is a natural stone that is safe, but tiles sometimes have sealers applied that are not.

This is natural stone. So it is safe. Thank you

Yup. Sandblast or sandpaper the surface sealer off, then a bath in RO/DI should help just to be safe. Once dry, the adhesive should hold better as well...

You can get any size disks, plugs, on EBAY cheap. I even got some "fake" live rock pieces that are small. I am going to use these as I get tired of seeing my chalices, palys, etc. growing on a flat surface everytime. Just an idea.

Edit: If you are interested go to EBAY and search frag disks. Ocean Wonders sells all different kinds.

Thank you, Darren. I don't buy things on eBay. I am not sure 100% why, but I don't like that site.

That travertine comes unsealed and it should work just fine.
I would rinse them off to get any extra dust off and you'll be good to go!
