Hi,
My name is Melissa and I’m a science teacher at TJ Middle School in Frederick, MD. I’m setting up a small reef tank to teach my students about ecosystems, biodiversity, symbiotic relationships, and human impact on the environment. My school is in a low income area where many of the students do not have the opportunity to visit aquariums or travel to destinations where they might get to experience reef habitats.
I’m setting up an innovative marine Nuvo 10g reef tank. I currently have the tank, pumps, a heater, and rocks. I am looking for donations of equipment and easy livestock to get the tank started. I have learned that some corals and fish can be toxic and would need to avoid those species to keep my students safe.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.
