Science006 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I just heard today that my science class is going to be part of this wonderful program. It is very exciting. I can't wait to share our set up and progress with the tank. Thanks for this opportunitym and teaching tool. Jackie Muth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Sounds like it's going to be a blast Jackie! I am excited to see pictures as you and your class get your new tank started. GO TFT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Welcome Jackie! I am very excited about helping to get a tank set up in Washington. I have been talking to Mr. S. Beth and I picked up this nice nano from Nick at Rose City. Garrett is suppling a nice protein skimmer. I spoke to Heather (coralcrazy) who is a member who works at Petworks. She has agreed to supply you with ro/di water and saltwater and just help out in general. Nick has also agreed to supply the rock rubble, live sand and water for the build. Thanks to the recent fundraiser we have cash to get you going! Heather also agreed to apply a clean up crew at cost when the tank is up and running. This may not all make sense to you right now but it will! We have a great group of sponsors and members who are here to help you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 So we are shooting for noon on Saturday to meet up at the School. I picked up 30 pounds of live rock from Wegotjs yesterday. I picked up some buckets from Rudy at Goldenbasket. Beth and I stopped by Nick's (Rosecity) and got some rock rubble and a glass cleaner and a timer. I will touch base with Mr. S and he will get the rest of the stuff we need from Garrett. (Live sand, sand, thermometer , heater). Beth and I will supply the saltwater. Heather are you going to bring the 5 gallons of Rodi water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she wants a green fuzzy shroom or two(or three or four) let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Sure. How many you need? If she wants a green fuzzy shroom or two(or three or four) let me know. I think we will just need one for the ro/di water to top off. Fuzzy shrooms would be nice but we should probably wait for the tank to cycle although out of experience. Mushrooms are pretty hard to kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozee Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have some red shrooms I can give if you need some good, tough ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think we are going to wait on livestock for now. I just traded some of my remaining colored sticks for a refractometer from Evan (Concreetdonkey). I think all we need now is a powerstrip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Welcome aboard. I have been in contact with Kim so I will be getting the above mentioned materials. For those of you that have mentioned donations you guys rock. Once again this thread is a great demonstration of the type of members we have in this organization. Thanks people Roger.
