tidalsculpin Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 So today I trained a small group to test the 80 gallon reef. I took pics but think it is probably not a good idea to share w/out parent permission. Here were there parameters tested 10/08/08 at 10:00 AM Salinity 1.025 pH 8.1 Nitrate 0ppm dkH 9 Calcium 430 We did not get to phosphates. Ran outta time. Still they loved it.

tidalsculpin Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Here are more pic of the tank they tested. This is my original reef started in June 2006. It did get upgraded to an 80 last fall but has most of the same inhabitants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180Brandy Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Love Love Love the tank!! What a awesome experience for your students!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgreenthumb Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Tank looks great!! I wish my teachers would of had more hands on learning like this. Stuff you do with your hands seems to stick with you alot longer than something you read out of a book. How blessed your students are!!

tidalsculpin Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks all. The kids do love it too. It is a natural teaching tool. I don't know how many times I have heard, "I wanna have a tank like that." The best part is that kids really want to help and get involved ..... no matter what grade they have in the class. That, in my opinion, is the true value. I know I have ignited some inner curiosity when the least successful students keep asking me if they can help feed or test or ask about a fish. I know at the end of the day that they have taken something away from my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
