By burky_tc @ 4:55 PM :: 209 Views :: 3 Comments ::

:: Des Moines Area

We will be hosting a coral fragging Demo for the Des Moines area members and anyone else who wants to come. This will be a great first for new members who are looking to score some fresh cut frags.

Also I would like to ask if anyone has some extra coral that needs fragging bring it and we can donate that stuff to new members or whomever. Joe and myself will be providing the necessary tools, superglue, plugs and whatever else is needed.

So all you need to bring is:
Cooler/bags if you want to bring anything home ;)
Coral that you want fragged(optional)
Food/drink for yourself or if you feel like sharing(please post if your bringing for everyone)
Also might want a chair to relax in

Check out the Des Moines Area message boards for more information or if you have any questions. See you all there!
