Equipment for school tank

[Damo252]

I am setting up a school tank, and am looking for equipment to do so. I currently have a 55gal aquarium with standard light strip. I plan on doing a FOWLR tank, but would consider corals if I can find some lights at the right price. I am looking for the following items:

Overflow or someone who could help me drill the tank
sump of some sort
skimmer
return pump
pwerheads for flow
heater
possibly lights.

I am not looking for the best looking high end stuff that you have, I want functional affordable equipment. thanks

I have wet dry you can have that could be used for a sump and a standard light fixture off a 75 gallon FW tank. Also have an over flow, just no clue on the flow rate.

What school?

Damon,

I have a bunch of extra heaters if you get over to Aurora for anything. Maybe some other stuff you could use.

I would get it drilled as an overflow is unreliable, and there will be times where nobody is present.

I am at Dakota Ridge High school, teach chemistry. I really appreciate it, when could we get together?

I would like to get it drilled, but I don't have any experience drilling glass, and don't want to break the tank.

PM me and we can set something up.

I have drilled tanks and have bits for a 3/4 and 1/2 inch bulkhead. U would probably want something like a 1.5 inch bulkhead for ur overflow though. Drilling tank is easy. http://www.glass-holes.com/1500-gph-complete-kit-gh1500kit.htm

I have a bunch of powerheads and some used 96 Watt power compact ballast no lights. You can just have all of the stuff you want. I got a ton of crap I don't use anymore. I also have an icecao 660 you can have as well. No power supply or harness though. Let me know.

Thanks a ton for everyone who has helped me out. I am still looking for some parts. let me know what you have. I do have some budget, and can trade some corals as well

Skimmer
plumbing U-tube for overflow, bulkheads
power heads
return pump
maybe lighting (I have a standard florescent) maybe a 4 bulb T5 nothing crazy though
Rock (dry would be fine)
