A little about me:
This will be the new thread I use for updates. I want to start off by thanking everyone that has offered to donate stuff and help me get this club started. I appreciate each and every single one of you. I also would like to tell you guys a little more about myself before I get to the details so feel free to skip this part. My name is Broden Mitchell and I am a 16 year old kid born and raised here in San Diego. In my free time I play competitive baseball and explore this planets wonderful nature. My passion for the ocean has always been with me and I want to become a Marine Biologist when I grow up. I want to attend either UCSD or Cal State Monterey Bay to play ball and pursue my love for marine biology. Right now I have a 120 gallon saltwater tank with a couple corals and fish. I just recently started a Coral Reef Club at my high school and got approved to bring a reef tank on campus so I can spread my love for the ocean and teach other students everything I know and love about these amazing ecosystems.
Club Details:
I will be meeting weekly with some other students to learn about Coral Reefs as well as sustaining our very own reef tank on campus. The tank will be a 32 gallon bio cube and will hold soft and lps corals as well as some nano fish. My plan is to slowly take the steps of setting up a reef tank. So this means that we start with the tank and all of the equipment, then let it cycle, add a fish, then some coral and so forth. This will allow a better learning process for everyone as well as ensuring ultimate stability. Over time we will begin to build our little reef and be able to solve various problems we may run into.
Equipment:
Okay so I spoke a little on it but essentially I will be setting up a 32 gal BioCube. I created a google sheet that shows all the equipment I already have and stuff I may need. I will link that below. You all should have edit access so if you want to donate something I have everything I need pre-programmed. If you think of anything else I may have missed you can also put that in there. No pressure to donate anything just thought I’d throw it put there. You can also be anonymous if you’d rather that just send me a text and we can chat there. If you have any questions about anything feel free to text me at (760) 58five-577three.

Wanted to also say a special thank you to everyone who has already donated equipment to me. I really appreciate everything, none of this would be possible without you guys.
