Looking for frags/fish setting up a tank for local school in San Jose

[TheFishFella]

Hi I’m setting up a tank for a local school in San Jose and they don’t have much of a budget so looking for people willing to donate a frag or two to the go cause I could also pay small fees if needed.

I have a massive gorgonian some areas are dead but it would be cool to Frag it up in a class teaching propagation of corals

Looking for any type of corals at the moment. The tank is 120 gallon 4x2x2 currently has two radion xr30 pros, Red Sea roller mat & RSK 300 skimmer along with 2 mp40s for flow. I donated all the gear and set it up now just looking to fill it. I was purchasing some frags from a local member and was telling him what I had planned he told me to look into it and here I am .

I would definitely be interested that was one of my plans to show students how to properly propagate coral. Show them that not all coral being sold is being removed from the ocean we can grow it in captivity and save the reefs!

I have neon green toadstool frags and a few bright orange mushrooms if you're interested.

What school is it for I’m sometimes in the area and maybe could drop it off. If not I’m in San Mateo for pickup

My wife is an Aid at an after school program where kids go to get help with school work & study. I convinced the superintendent to allow the setup. This is for students of the age group 12-18 middle schoolers and high school kids. It’s ConXion to community. Here’s the link https://www.conxion.org/education

Yes I’d definitely be interested! Thank you for your consideration. Where are you located?

 

[MichaelB]

Well, For a good cause, I have green rhodactis mushrooms maybe a few other types of mushrooms as well, a colony of pulsing zenia, neon green toadstools, duncans, zoanthids, and I have a meduim size rock of gsp.

I could contribute a little of each.

I would love to see pictures of the tank if you have any?

I will upload some photos as soon as possible will have to ask for permission to upload pictures of the kids with tank not sure if there are any issues with the legality of it but I think a permission slip should do the trick. The plans for the tank is to show the kids coral propagation, tank maintenance and having responsibilities away from home. Looking to see the glow in their eyes like I once had when my father set up his first tank, I was star struck . I currently have a 400 gallon CDA tank 3 Neptune sky’s, 3 ecotech mp40s, 2 Neptune COR return pumps, along with full apex system, trident, 3 Neptune dose dosing Alk, mag, calcium, AB+ 3rd dose is for automatic water changes, trigger systems platinum 39 sump with roller mat, Regal 200SSS skimmer here are pictures of my build.
