I have some left over tiles I use on my floor that are white on the top and the brownish red on the bottom. Would these be safe to make frag tiles from

Possibly. You'll need to determine exactly what materials the tile is made of and then Google whether these are safe for a reef tank.

I would definitely avoid using... besides cement residue, tile adhesive etc etc... you can buy frag plugs/ plates for next to nothing.
50 plugs maybe £3. 100 plates maybe £10.


Maybe use them as a plate to serve Xmas dinner off lol :) :)

Are you still looking for suggestions? :Dif yes,
You can use floor tiles to create frag tiles for an aquarium, but safety is important. The white top and brownish-red bottom suggest they might be ceramic or porcelain. It's a good idea to soak the tiles in water for a few days and test the water for any changes in pH or chemical composition. If the tiles are plain, unglazed ceramic, they should be safe for use as frag tiles. Still, it is better to buy frag items specifically made for this purpose.
