Coral for classroom tank

[goody]

I'm getting back in the hobby after about a 4 year hiatus. The tank is a nano I picked up from Ty (TYDY) and the tank is in my 5th grade classroom. The students are really excited that the tank has cycled and we now have a cleanup crew.and two softie frags. Looking to add more coral -zoas, shrooms, pulsing xenia, and octospawn, frogspawn, or hammer, just no sps.

This is a new experience for me, having a nano, the tank 20 miles from my house and no sticks. I don't want to spend too much money in case this proves to be too difficult so looking for frags with generous prices or even better, PIF.

I can hook it up with a few frags of something

If you ever head down toward the stadium i'm about 5 min away, got some neon pollyps and mushrooms for the kids.

I have a few zoa frags you can have. PPE, BBeB, and Pink Zippers. I'm in Oceanside

I have a plug of zoas and a green toadstool I could donate.

It’s been really cool to see the nano come together for Brian and donate a few things. Awesome to have so many people already offering.

I’ve got a couple more zoas and leathers just send me a text.

If you’re ever around the cowles mountain area, I would be happy to shoot a zoa & green star polyp frag your way, free of charge.

Thank you all for your generous offers. I sent pms out to most of you last night. My school is in Mira Mesa, so if you are further South, hoping I can swing by next time I'm visiting my parents in Tierrasanta, which is usually on a weekend. If you are anywhere up near San Marcos -North County, hoping to meet up sooner.

Can the hammers be bleached? ;-) I can pull off some Kenya Trees. One of my red LTAs is on the glass.
You can have all of the above for free.

I don't think I have the lights for an LTA. If hammer is just-bleached, but healthy otherwise students might enjoy seeing it color back up. Do you know why its bleached and how long it's been that way? Have a frag of Kenya tree but wouldn't mind another. Maybe I can hit up you and Brandon0350 at same time since you are both in o'side.

Good to see you getting back into it! I have some Xenia and zoas if you’re ever down in El Cajon.

I've got some mushrooms, zoas and photosynthetic gorgonian I could pif to ya if you're down this way when you're in ts.

I have a free frag of an orange monti setosa in mira mesa if you want to try. Should be able to handle pretty low light being a monti.

Did everything survive overnight and made it into the classroom tank?

Everything made it and is doing great,Kamil! Heat pack is still warm now, Thank you so much for your very generous donations. I took some photos that I will post in the members tank section.

I have to say that this community of reefers is AMAZING! So many of you have offered to donate coral to my classroom tank. Kamil (Fish-farts) hooked me up, as did Ty (TYDY ) so the tank has frags of gsp, Kenya trees, leathers, hammer, and an anemone. The students had many questions which already led to a discussion on the anatomy of an anemone today. A few weeks ago the cycling period was discussed because they didn't understand as to why the tank had to sit empty w/o fish or coral.

I would still like to add the zoas, gorgs, pulsing xenia and mushrooms that were offered, if those members are still willing. I pm'd most yesterday it not all, on trying to meet up.

As a teacher, one of my goals is to inspire students to want to learn more, and with this tank in the class, I already see their inquisitive minds wanting to know more about our wonderful world of reefing. Many thanks to all of you who are helping me with this.

I will start than a thread in the members tanks section soon.
