Hello all,
As far as introductions are concerned, I have been lurking around for a couple of years now, just reading and taking in the advise that this forum has to offer its members.
I have been experimenting with salt water aquariums for about 10 years now, some of my tanks have succeeded while others have not.
I am a high school science teacher, and have used many tanks as learning opportunities for my students. The hard part is that I have moved to three different schools and number 4 is coming up next year. I keep moving to get closer to my own community and children.
Each time I move, the tanks, as expected struggle. I have had a small 40 gallon tank going for about 4 years now with two Snowflake Clowns and three blue damsels. I have had the blue damsels for 6 years now and have transferred them through a few different tanks, those suckers are HARDY! My clowns I have had for almost 2 years.
My favorite tank is a 250 gallon, but it has not been set up for a year as I knew I was transferring schools and did not want to set it up temporarily. This will be my final school and I will set all tanks up and specialize each of them.
I am a fan of clown fish and anemones. They also make it easy to talk about biology with the students when I can show the symbiotic relationships associated with them.
I am looking forward to developing my tanks and understanding as I progress into this addiction.
