    I guess this maybe isn't directly addressed, but under 18 are free into the fests, etc, so I think that also applies to any event as well.

    The frag plugs I made turned out pretty good for it being the first attempt. I'll post a pic of them tomorrow when there fully set up.

    Very cool. Do you have to let this stuff "cure" before you use it in the tank?

    For the rocks it takes 4 weeks to cure and we soak it in water for the duration to allow all the salt to dissolve ,, the ph is around 12 until it fully cures
