65 Gallon, Cedar Lane Elementary

[dbartco]

So we started a new tank at Cedar Lane. The previous 33 gallon tank did not provide enough room with the center overflow, so we upgraded! We now have a 65 gallon tank. There was a bit of an issue getting the tank's canopy done, so I put off the installation until after the winter holiday. I will try to list the donors of the items as best I can.

Looks good, Doug. Glad to see that things made it past the move pretty well. Have the trumpets come out yet?

Aww, that's cute, you put a pic of yourself on the canopy... next to the fish.

 

I can give you some torches and maybe some other stuff if you want to swing by.

 

EDIT: I forgot! I have a large rock of blue shrooms at school in the horse tank donated by wfoxfox. I'm just worried that with that many they'll sting the horses, so I cut some off and put them on the main column and pushed the rock to the side until I could figure out what to do with it. It also has a few aptaisia that I really don't want to spread into the tank- there's only 3 or so I think. If you want, lmk and I'll bring it home from school next time we actually have school, and you can pick it up with the torch.

The teacher did that so the kids would realize I wasn't some nut job child predator!

 

I will definetly take some Sam and Wayne! Let me finish shoveling and we'll talk.

 

The trumpets were put in there minutes before the pic. They were out today when i stopped by.

We love the tank, the fish seem to make everyone happy - we hope to have questions for you very soon.

 

Thank you again for your informative presentation. The kids really enjoyed it.

Amy,

I'm glad the tank is working out and the kids are learning and enjoying from it.

 

Doug,

I have a few other corals to donate to the tank if you want them.

took a little vid of the tank last week. I havn't had a lot of time to help with the tank with the new kid at home. They are using non-RO water, so there is some cyano on the sandbed. I need more water changes and some phosphate removing media to rid some of that. ATO not working so well wither. We need a new maxijet for that, but otherwise things going steady and running pretty smoothly.

 

Note the little anem in the corner. It was the other half of the BTA in the tank, but never has taken off. Looks bleached, but surviving fine. Stupid clowns have't found the anem yet! Also need one of those aiptasia zappers!
