For the past 3-4 years, I have set up a tank in my 5th grade classroom and some of the reefers on here have generously donated frags. This year, my plan was to go a bit bigger and bring in my 20g Nuvo, but I decided to stay with the 14g Biocube that I set up last year because it's pretty easy to tear down at the end of the school year.
Last year, I reached out to some businesses, and ended up getting some donations, including a Kraken lid. Two weeks ago, I came across a grant application for teachers who want to have pets in the classroom. I applied for the one for fish and was awarded the $125 rebate grant, so I'm looking forward to spending this money at some of our LFS.
Even though I'm staying with the 14g, I wanted to do a tank thread because I'm doing a few changes to it, including trying my hand at a floating aquascape, and with this grant, hope to have a thriving tank the students can enjoy and take the responsibilities of caring for it. I had a piece of acrylic in the garage that I drilled some holes in and bent. I then siliconed it to the back wall last weekend and used glue and putty to attach the rocks today. I hope to have it cycling in the classroom next week and bring in the livestock that have been in my planted tank all summer. The only photo of the tank last year was near its beginning stages.
