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 :be happy:. 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

I think the all in one nano is a great tank for the school. I can donate strombus grazer snails and coral.
-
I will have live rock available soon

Tank is up and running with water and bagged live sand.
Does anyone have some well seasoned live rock with a good bioload in it to help reduce the cycle? It's a 14 Gallon Nano so not much is needed. Please contact me.
I plan on donating my pistol and shrimp Goby once it is ready. They are currently in a 3 gallon nano. I have 3 rocks out of it that I will put in the tank tomorrow but they are small.

@Kenn - sent you a PM
@Jeblin - we'll see what Kenn and I have to combine. May take you up on a piece or two to use for the class as an example of how a reef can adapt to a new environment. PM me.
