Cedar Lane Elementary 60 Gallon, back in Ashburn.

Recommended Posts

The tank at Cedar Lane Elementary is back! The tank spent a number of years at Cedar Lane in Ashburn, then was moved to Emerick Elementary in Purcellville, and is now back in the Cedar Lane Library. It was requested back by the Principal, especially for the autism and special needs students that LOVE spending time in front of it. And, after many years of persuasion, my wife has agreed to take on some of the maintenance and care (She is much more meticulous than I, so this should be a good thing!). Maybe some reefkeeping after some 20 years has rubbed off!

 

Tank is a ~60 gallon 36x18x20.  Lighting is 4x24W T5, ~15 gallon sump, Mag 5 return on a (broken) sea swirl. There is not currently a skimmer on the system, but trying to wrangle a small footprint cone skimmer for it. I had not run skimmers on it in the past, but the wife will know how to deal with it should a problem arise.  There is a hang on filter that us mostly used for carbon clearing of organics from the water. have another Maxijet propeller on there for circulation. EboJager heater.

 

Current stock list: tiny sailfin tang, matted file fish, coral beauty, serpent star, pencil urchin

Corals : purple mushrooms, gorgonian, looking for softies

Possibly coming soon: Nemo's - (there just has to be!), maybe a royal gramma or something, 

 

Hate begging, but always looking for donations...   :tongue:

There is a growing brochure book on the front of the tank with laminated color pictures of inhabitants, fish specs, care requirements, and map of region,

Rocks are not aquascaped as well as we originally placed because of an evil damsel I put in there that needed to be fished out

 

We're looking forward to Q&A on this forum!
