So a huge thanks to Cris Capp and Rob Mougey to start this thread. Here is the new to us but AA system that will be going into the elementary science lab. We are not sure what the plan is yet. It may end up being a freshwater system but I’m working the salt angle pretty hard.

My first thought was some kind of clown fish breeding system...where you could have various stages of the development. But I think that would be a TON of work, and each tank is divided but I'd guess the fry could easily swim through the little slats.

Looks good though!

Each student could do there own mini reef. Then next year you could frag everything and start over. Have them research a biome and re create. It would be interesting to see if someone does sea grasses or softies.

I am trying to make sure that whatever we end up doing it isn't another thing for me to take care of. I want the kids to own this one.

sadly you know freshwater (non planted) is the easiest. like Andrew suggested each individual student or group gets a "tank" they can put in what they want and keep it alive.
in 4th grade we all had to keep a snail alive for 1 month. I am 30 and still remember that fondly

I hate to say that fresh is probably the way to go. I am thinking of doing shrimp on the top section or two.

Also thinking simple plants. It came with LED strip lights that will throw enough to grow a lot easy plants like crypts and such. Plants will also be really good for the shrimp and copepods.

Smaller African Cichlids... like Tanganyika and Victorians. They are hardy and will easily have babies which can do the whole circle of life lesson. They don't mind if you don't do much maintenance as long as they get fed... and water changes are easy.

Some of the Victorian Haps (obliqudens, for example) are as beautiful as they get and you can have a nice less about males needing to be colorful to attract female, and all of that stuff.

Some of these fish are 2-3 inches max.

I always recommend Africans to people who want saltwater fish since they can be just as beautiful with about 10% of the work and knowledge.

Thinking that this will probably end up freshwater as it will be easier for the other teachers to help maintain. But made some progress this week. Plumbing has been redone and all leaks have been repaired. Now to drain it, move it into place, and get it cycled. View attachment 16147 View attachment 16148
