Classroom Tank
After a 3+ year hiatus from the hobby, I'm back with a nano setup in my 5th grade classroom. Purchased the 16g rimless from Ty (TYDY), who was very helpful in getting me going.
My previous tanks we're a 90g and a 150g, and both were mainly sps,so this is very new to me, having such a small tank, with mostly softies and lps. Also, not being able to stare at it everyday of the week to enjoy it and to also take notice of any sudden issues, is a bit stressful. Needless to say, I am loving it as are my students. It is so fun to see their excitement and to field their questions about the tank and inhabitants. For many of them, going up to the tank and taking it all in is the first thing they do as they enter the door.
A huge shout out to the numerous members who generously offered to donate coral, and especially the following whose donations put life in the tank: Kamil (fishfarts), Garrett (garrettm), Mike (CDM2213), Clarence (xM3TH0Dx), Derek (PatientZero), and Dan (inurmind).Thank you all for helping me put the love of our hobby into the hearts of my 33 ten year olds.
And if I was never able to meet up with you, and you'd still like to donate, I'd still love to add new colors with coral I do not have.

Lights- Started off with a Fluval LED I bought with tank from Ty. Ended buying his ecotech xr30 mount a couple weeks later thinking I could attach the fixture to it. Fluval mount used like an adhesive tape and I didn't think it was safe. I got it to work with the new mount and it looked pretty decent. Found another Fluval LED on R2R for really cheap, so have had 2 of these lights attached to xr30 until this week. With my winnings from the sdreefs fantasy football league, I purchased a used Prime HD on the forum. Two days in, and coral look much happier. Couple photos with Fluval lights and now with PrimeHD.
