Classroom while seemingly dirtier actually had significantly less cyano and was algae free except for the glass.

So the impressive growth came to an abrupt halt over winter break with a trusty Red Sea clogged ATO and a coworker with a false positive that forced me to not be able to check on the tank for two weeks. At some point we will be hacking up a bunch of dead corals but we still have a lot of stuff that is doing well. Especially this beauty. View attachment 18428 View attachment 18429

No just RO top off. Tank was probably 2” low and super cold due to being cut off from the heater in the sump. So there was a temp swing and salinity swing.

This tank never really recovered after the precious Covid/summer/ato issues. Was overgrown with algae, which clogged the overflows and messed up the water level and ato etc etc.

Tank is getting a complete reboot. Remaining fish were moved to the lobby shark tank, and we pulled out all the rock to scrub it as much as possible. Also removed the sand as this tank will now be bare bottom.

This is the fish club kids project for the year. They’re gonna stock it and learn the fish and coral selection process.

Pretty big changes for this tank.

We moved it to a different location in the building, which was an insanely stressful process on its own.

Then the quest fish club kids met with a biologist at Quality Marine to come up with a stocking plan. Quality donated the fish they chose together, and they all arrived about a week ago.



Gonna have to figure out how to get a tang or rabbitfish in here, and the one Quality Marine sent only lived a couple days.

No more photos without naming the inhabitants. Once you start, you cannot stop. Post names of the fish and even the hair algae, or your posting privs are suspended. :)

FWIW - hair algae names are limited to 80s Hair Bands or the members.

Fish at the school have to prove they can last a month before getting a name. But names should be forthcoming for all the fish pictured here in the next couple weeks.

Mike doesn’t get naming privileges. Ask him the name of the checkerboard wrasse in his classroom.

What? No one said they needed to be school appropriate?
