[Edit: as of 12/10/22]
I'm currently teaching 10th grade high school biology as a long-term substitute. I have 6 aquariums in my classroom, 3 salt, 3 fresh. The SW tanks are a 13.5g fluval mixed reef, a 10g macro tank that's doubling as a QT invert and an attempt to breed the lettuce sea slug, Elysia crispata, and a 4g AIO that has a mantis shrimp I received on some live rock from KP Aquatics. I also have a 5g bucket with 2 year old mangroves growing in FW. I love interesting invertebrates, and find they make excellent additions to my classroom.
At my girlfriend's house, I recently purchased a used Red Sea Reefer 250 (plus equipment). We are going to repaint the stand as well as the hydronic baseboard heaters next to the tank and set it up as a seahorse/macro/softie tank.
Below you'll find many posts with various ideas for tank builds as they've evolved over the last couple years, and some stacks of the many used parts I've acquired. I'll continue to document all of the tanks as they evolve.
My original plan was to do a lagoon tank with mangroves. I'd still like to do it at some point.
Here are a bunch of tanks (and 1 pond) that I'm using for inspiration:
