ghiggi Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm in as well. I can also bring in some DIY rock stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidalsculpin Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Sounds like DIY Rock is the main activity. I will talk about the evolution of the wiki for the kids in my room and how I teach about water quality and teaching about corals. Maybe ten minutes. You might want to know about the tanks as well. I am just going to propose that we do it on January 24th from 1:30 -3:30ish. This gives us enough time to plan ahead. Also, if people want to go in on a big box of coral they could stew on it awhile. But, it is close enough to think about it over the next month. I am excited there is interest. Hope to get folks from all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidalsculpin Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Cool!! It looks like at least eight can attend from Lane County alone. Lowman and maybe Mr. S have also expressed interest from up North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I would like to make it if it works out schedule -wise. Would like to meet some of the southern folk.....

ThePremiumAquarium Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Michael, If the date works out for both of us, you are welcome to catch a ride with me. That goes for any Salem folks that want to head down. I will try and make sure I get the day off work Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I can go. Will talk to Lowman also. Maybe Garrett, Micheal,Bob and I can all carpool together! Do you want me to do any teacher stuff??!!! Some people already know my gift for the gab! I can discuss how I use the tanks in the classroom. Niles already knows how I make DIY rocks but I can throw in my 2 bits if necessary.

tidalsculpin Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Roger, I am glad to hear you can come. DIY with kids in mind would be great. Perhaps Miles can share his recipe and you and others could chime in on what you have done in the past. I am especially interested in how you manage the curing process with kids at school.

R-3 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hey guys I think Im gonna come down with Roger and Bob. I wanna bring down my Oceanic 33 to drill. anyone have a bit to do a SCH80 1" bulkhead? I will get the measurements. I just gotta drill one hole. I figured I would do that since Miles seems to be the expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Jay had some of the diamond holesaws last summer i think when we drilled Joel's 40B. He'd be the guy to ask. Ryan it would be a good idea once you know the size to make a guide for it out of wood. Then we can clamp it to the tank and drill that way. This will eliminate any jumping around and scratching from the bit before you get a groove cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidalsculpin Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have a standard 1" diamond hole saw bit and the guide from my 40 breeder drilling. Just come with a fully charged variable speed drill AND an extra battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
