Hey all!
I am currently putting together a reef tank as an independent study ( 1 credit ) for our biology department. We have been talking about it for about a year now and the lab coordinator finally got the go ahead! Its a small step in getting more attention on our ocean that will have an impact on students. Right now our equipment is rather abysmal. We have a really old and scratched up 75 or 90g tank and store bought equipment that looks about 10 years old. I need to go through everything once I get it all washed up from the failed attempt 2 years ago. Right now the only good thing is plentiful RODI water we have access too lol.
If there is anything you can offer in the way of advise for a classroom tank I would be very appreciative. I have my own tank for a while now but have never operated and maintained anything bigger than 40g or a public tank. I will be making the equipment list and expected budget next week which should shed some more light on what to expect.
Thank you and until then,
Bill
