Hey Folks

More of a Build Share vs a Build Thread.
For the past 6 years we had a Cichlid Tank running at my Sons School. My Son would do Fish Fact Fridays and it was a way for our family to share our Hobby with the Community. Since Covid we decided to Convert it to a Reef Tank and my Older Son (now in middle school) handed over the Fish Fact Friday Torch to my 1st Grader, but gets to add Corals, Inverts and all the additional Fun Aspects of Reefing to his Announcements! Its been a long 3 months but its finally got some Coral and is stocked with Fish from my 125 Breakdown. Huge shout out to Jeremy @Countryreefer for donating some great pieces to really give the Tank something to look at!!! Kids are already in Love after 1 week of the Tank being revealed! Check out the Principals Tweet! . I appreciate everyone who has offered Corals, and I look forward to meeting you! Thank you to everyone who has helped me learn over the past few years, this is a special Hobby with lots of amazing people!!! The Tank is a 90 Mixed… Run with Canister Filtration (FX 6) Loaded with Matrix, A Reef Breeder Photon V2, Max Spect Gyre and BRS Carbon GFO Dual Reactor. I do 10-15 Gal Water Changes weekly and things are running smoothly. I will be adding an HOB Skimmer Soon and an Auto Fish Feeder (does anyone have a recommendation?). Ill continue to post updates!

This is great what you and your family are doing! We need to pass on this awesome hobby to our young ones. I’m certain a reef tank can help give the students a needed moment of relaxation and calm before a recital, a speech, a competition or a weekly exam. And who knows, these kids might grow up and help solve our global warming issues which in turn saves the coral reefs! If I can contribute some corals to accent your beautiful aquascape, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Best of luck!

You are Awesome! Thank you!
 
Tank looks great! Glad I was able to get you a few things to get the tank going. It's great to hear that the kids are really excited about the tank and learning about its inhabitants. We can only hope that projects like this will get the younger generations interested in the environment and take better care of it than we do now. Best of luck with the tank!!!
 
Huge Shout Out to @Joe Rice and @dz6t for their Donations to the school tank!!! Im so thankful for how much support and generosity people have shown to support this initiative! The kids and faculty are so excited! I cant wait for all the Coral to take over and really make this Tank come Alive! This Community of Reefers are the Absolute best! Thank You

Two weeks stocked and looking great. Im shocked how everything has acclimated and no serious Algae outbreaks or spike in nutrients. My son did the water change today! He's a big help.
