Classroom Corals

All,
I'm starting an adventure with a K-8 school in Maryland. We are trying to create the first classroom that makes money. The idea is that we will be learning about marine life using a few tanks and we will be selling the babies and coral cuttings to pay for the maintenance etc. there is no budget in the county school system for this so we are looking for two things.

1. We need a few things donated at first to get started. Rodi unit, refractometer, test kits, etc.
2. We are looking for a supplier or two who could get us wholesale pricing to keep maintenance costs down.

Does anyone know anyone who may be able to help us get off the ground?

Thanks,

Joe

 

Hello. Just be sure to be careful when fragging the corals. Wear goggles to protect your eyes, gloves, and ash your hands.

Sorry that I can't help with anything else.

 

Yep definitely. Also here is a pic of the setup. There is the corner tank which will hold the paired fish. As they have babies they will get "flushed" into the bottom baby pool to grow.

The top baby pool has the corals in it with the MH light.
