flowerseller June 8, 2009 Share June 8, 2009 Glass hole drilling is confirmed. We will also be doing the hole drilling demo by our very own Ybenormal. Learn how to drill your own holes with glass drill bits. this is one time you can then "try it at home". We will then have a limited number of various sized glass drill bits available to purchase afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartco June 18, 2009 Share June 18, 2009 Chip has been chugging away gettting the facilities, fragging and DIY demos, and coral torturing devices ready for fragfest. Now it is our turn to help out with a few things as well. 1) We need to know who is coming for frags food and drinks 2) We need water - lots of it! New and used. 1.025 preferable. (Have a water change in the morning, and don't forget heaters/powerheads to borrow) 3) Other donations for fragging - Bring that overgrown leather, bta anemone, or monti cap. - whatever, we'll chop it!! We'll give it back with a haircut! There will be MANY freebies fragged and given away. Zoo's, lps, sps to be given away to members. There will even be some nice frags that we will have that we MAY have to charge a nominal fee for. Post up your plans HERE IN THIS THREAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
