Hello all,
I hope you're having a great weekend and start to the new month.
Recently, I found out that the Oceanography class at my high school (Norcross) has started up a saltwater tank to help educate the students on the preservation and care of marine life. However, they are struggling to survive off of a $200 budget, and needless to say, the 55g tank needs some help. At present, there is no (live) rock, no skimmer, no decent lights...I guess I should say what they do have: an in-tank filter, fake freshwater plants, and two damsels and a chromis. The students all sounded very knowledgeable about what they needed to run a successful tank, and all of them were very passionate about the process, but they are simply lacking the funds/resources to progress.
So, this is where we hopefully step in: I was wondering if anyone would have any extra supplies, equipment, livestock (mainly live rock!) you'd be willing to donate to this worthy cause. I told the teacher I would try to help the class via some connections, and the was absolutely thrilled. I am going to dig around and donate whatever I can, and if you think you have something(s) to offer, please email me at mailto:Flipturn88@yahoo.com">Flipturn88@yahoo.com</a>
Also, I have given them info on Saltwater University, and I think they plan to get involved in the program--or at least participate. :)
Much thanks,
Kayla
