Hey guys. If you remmber i brought up the topic a while ago about setting up a tank for my high school marine science class. Well i have been working on trying to get stuff donated. So far i have a tank thanks to TATs in Thousand oaks and $300 worth to spend on equipment thanks to premium aquatics. I figured i would start a thread for the tank so everyone can see how the tank is progressing. So here is the tank. Its a aqua japan aj-50 which i know is not a top brand name but the design is great! Its an all in one and it has a glass lid to kepp all the crudy hands out of the tank. I will update when i have the tank in the classroom sometime this week. I am waiting to hear from jason at premium aquatics how to go about ordering the rest of the equipment.



Ps: sorry for the bad pic i didnt think it would be that hard to see with all the junk around it

Very cool! It's great your doing this. I believe this is a subject that is lacking from HS curriculum.

I agree! Thanks

I have had good luck in contacting posters on craig's list asking them if they will
take a tax receipt for donation from the school for a greater value than they want to sell for.
Mention it is going to a school and they are very willing.

Ya we will see

so i brought it into the classroom yesterday. the teacher loved it!!! I also ordered a reef keeper light with float switch, two koralia 750s, a mag float algae scraper, and a toms aqua lifter pump for top off. All thanks to Premium Aquatics! I will see if i can grab a pic of the tank in the classroom today.

are they footing the bill for the whole thing?

Are they what?

Is Premium Aquatics paying for the whole thing?

No they just gave me $300 to spend

so i think i might be getting a light from reef geek! i will hopefully know tomorrow

Awesome! Hopefully that works out. Cant wait to see this thing setup. When you need corals I've got some for you.

Ok cool thanks!

So i havent heard back from reefgeek yet its been like 2 weeks now so i guess i still need to find a light somewhere. If anyone has one of the ai nanos they are willing to donate for a tax return please let me know

Hit up one of the DIY sites they may go for it

I was thinking about that. Ill try that today

just a thought, but, start a new thread and see if people would be willing to donate like 5-10$ Then you could go out and buy the light/DIY light. I know I won't be willing to fork over 80$ for a DIY light for the school, but I would be willing to chip in 10$ towards it. Just food for thought.

yea I would donate something

Ok i could do that

How are the corals looking?

Great! Thanks!

Pics!

I will tommrow didnt have time today

Hey guys we could really use some help getting this light. I havehad a couple of people offering me a light at a cheaper cost insted of donating but im having to say no because i dont have any money to spend on it. We are currently at $10 thanks to derrick. Lets see if we can hit $200!!! Again i really appriciate it guys and its going to a great cause

DONATE HERE


Thanks again
