Hi There Reef Community. I am new to this forum, but I have heard that this is a great way to reach out. My name is Serge Medvedev and I am a teacher at the Marine Science Magnet High School in Groton CT.
I am writing to ask for help. I am setting up a curriculum to teach students about aquarium science, in particular the maintaining of saltwater systems and reef tanks. We all know that this can be an expensive endeavor, and I do not have a large budget to be able to do what I would like to with the students. One of the ongoing projects we have at the school is the maintenance of display tanks that we have at the school. Currently, we are experiencing a phosphate problem (to name a few), and we are losing the battle, as our water source comes in with phosphates.
I had a phosban reactor donated to help with this, but I need the media for it.
This is just one example of an item I am looking for. However, in general, I would love to be able to collect anything that is being discarded. Water quality tests, lights, ballasts, pumps, really anything would be very helpful. Thank you!!
