Well going back to college has been delayed pending an imminent job change, (just happened). The Bethel Science Teacher (Ms. Mosley) has been asking if I am putting another tank in her room. The answer was no initially until I came across a 14G biocube at a garage sale for $30 missing the ballasts, the tank is nearly brand new. I wrote to Oceanic and they donated 2 new ballasts
. I plan on setting up the tank week after next after I get some things together for it. I plan on using 1/2 water from my tank, the live sand, and donated live rock to hopefully eliminate a cycle of the tank.
This year hopefully doing it smarter with a smaller tank, and no sump. The 46g bowfront last year was toooooo much maintenance. This tank will require less top offs that can be done manually too.
What we have:Tank, lights, return pump
Timer
Power Strip
Bag of live sand
Water and Salt
What we need:Heater for a 14g (all my extras are too big)
Circulation pump for a 14g
Live rock to fit in tank, about 30 pounds or so
Corals
Fish
Hermits
Snails
Shrimp
I am going to arrange a time with Ms. Mosley for the set up and I will post here if anyone wants to stop by like we did last year.
Please let me know if you can donate anything.
Thanks
Todd
