Hi everyone!
I'm currently a student at Northampton Community College in Bethlehem, PA and I wanted to reach out on behalf of my Mom who is the Director of Education at Northampton Community College. Ever since getting a saltwater tank almost a year ago my Mom has expressed interest in getting a tank for the early childhood center at the college that has children 0-6 all year round. I'm sure you know yourself how relaxing and beneficial our tanks can be...not to mention a great learning experience for young minds and the many visitors/college students who come through the center daily. She also believes it would be highly beneficial to have one in the center for learning, enjoyment, and relaxation. I'm currently in the process of reaching out to different companies to hopefully get all supplies needed donated. And I was hoping/wondering if anyone can help with this. I would be the caretaker and we were looking for around 100 gallon tank for a fowlr setup and the necessary supplies or donations as the overall cost and maintenance is lower than a reef tank. I have reached out to several companies, the lfs, and the tanks in schools program. The replies I’m currently getting can not make the tank happen. So I was hoping this local club can. At the moment I need the tank with filtration/sump, stand, lighting, powerheads, and the heater! But I am able to get the rock, sand, and some livestock donated.

Please reach out to me if you are willing to help.
Thank you!
