Many, many, many, thanks to Coral Ranch for their extremely generous donation today.  See pics below.  Bethel now has a blood shrimp, 3 'Nemos', about 18 hermits, around a dozen snails, and a unique fluorescent Kenya tree coral that was touted to "grow like mad".

The best part is that when I got to the school today, classes had just dismissed and an eight grader was in to get help understanding the latest lesson.  Mrs Mosley took her over and asked her about Arthropods and to point one out.  Mrs. Mosley then used the blood shrimp, that I had just brought in, to educate her about Arthropods...  Doesn't get any better than that!!!

You've done a great job on this Todd! Thanks for sharing the pictures and story about how Mrs Mosley is using the tank for education. Thanks to Coral Ranch and everyone else that has donated as well. It is great seeing us come together for the community

Once again, I have to say this is the best project the club has taken on!  Thanks Todd!!  It would be great to see the club gradually branch out to lots of local school.  Awesome to promote the hobby.  Before I got my tank, I honestly had never seen a saltwater tank except at large aquariums.  Its great to plant the seed of saltwater obsession when they are young :)

I was at my son's Cross Country meet today, a friend's sister is the principal at West Carrolton Schools.  She was asking what it would take to start a tank at her school....

Sorry a bit confusing.... My friend's sister IS the principal at the school.  I gave her my contact information if she wanted to follow up.

I will be traveling out of town next week and need to give Mrs. Mosley some emergency contacts while I am gone.

Any volunteers?

Please give me your information in a PM.  I will be gone Mon-Friday.

Monday October 10, 2011

1.025
79 degrees
PH 8.0
Nitrate 1
Phosphate 0

I did a 18 gallon water change
New GFO in Fluval
New Carbon in Fluval
Floss in Fluval,

Cleaned out some surface algae and a bit of green hair, and vacuumed out some crud that had accumilated under the chaeto in the Caflo overflow (not in service yet)

Rinsed Chaeto out and picked out parts that had some hair algae growing on it

Moved Plug strip to up on wall

Now that I know that the water parameters are OK I can move the Red Flame Algae (put into overflow so the Tomi Tang won't eat it) the Hammer, Blue Xenia, Tyree Ponapae, and ORA Pink Birdnest into the tank that Brian donated.

Please advise on placement of the 2 SPS

Todd
