Heritage elementray school 55g planted

[beaslbob]

First thanks to Tomoko for asking and assisting.

I setup (with Verdell attending and Tomoko providing plants) a 55g tank for DR McQueen's 5th grade class last.

I think it turned out really well, Verdell and I had lotsa fun, and Dr. McQueen seemed impressed. Plus it was the motivation to redo our 55g on the porch with a goldfish as well.


I hope it will be very successful and enjoyed by Dr. McQueen's students.


But in the back of my mind is a nagging little bitty thought.

Do you suppose that setting up a beaslbob build will now result in my being banned from 5th grade?

Please imagine I actually spelled elementary correctly.

Can't edit titles. LOL

You'll be promoted to the next level whether you can spell or not. Did you take any photos of the tank setup?

yep i did. this was immediately after setup. If it was in better focus and the anacharis were straight up, I think it looks awesome.

 

[Tomoko Schum]

I'd trim these anacharis stem into thirds to accelerate their growth. They should look better as well. That will increase the number of plants quickly, too.

 

[beaslbob]

good idea

 

[markkazdad]

Looks good. Are there fish in there already?

 

[Tomoko Schum]

I don't think there's any fish in there yet.

Beaslbob-

How many PC lamps did you guys put over that 55 gallon tank?

None. He had a 2 tube shop light we placed on the top of the tank.

no fish yet

 

[Tomoko Schum]

He told me that he converted the lighting to PC lamps afterward. and put the shop light over the smaller tank underneath the 55 gallon tank
