Hey guys!
I was at Pratt for the frag swap and after talking to some members I was enticed by the idea of starting a nano reef for my middle school classroom. I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has any experience or advice before I really commit to this. I teach science and currently have a variety of animals and freshwater tanks, but since we do an entire unit on Ocean Acidification and Coral Bleaching, I thought it a good idea to try a small reef tank keeping mostly softies and possibly a few very hardy LPS coral.
One of my main questions concerns the type of tank.. I have a 20L not being used along with filters, heaters, powerheads, ATO. I would need to purcahse a filter and lights. I am also considering going with a Fluval Evo XII as it is an all in one and might be a little easier to maintain. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice which way to go?
Thanks!
