Well I got word that the school wants to look into repairing or upgrading the present aquarium system that they are using. As the current one a 10 yr old DD is set up for medium light and no automation other than an ATO. Current tank is an 8 ft 300 gallon heavily Euro-braced that we have successfully housed Euphyllia and softies, all types of fish including sharks that actually reproduced in tank. I have recommended that we move to the next level and go SPS dominant. I would like to stay with the same gallonage but not necessarily the same foot print.
I have begun talking to some of the Houston shops about proposals and installation. Some of the restrictions are it will be in a public place meaning no open tops, nice well made cabinetry that lends itself to security, minimum light spillage. Has to be against the wall no island tanks or peninsulas.
My plan is for an aquarium club mentored by myself and possibly a science teacher. SPS corals raised and sold to the public with the proceeds to a scholarship to be awarded to a deserving member of the the team upon graduation.
My reason for this thread is sometimes ordinary everyday reefers have the most brilliant solutions and ideas. You have a nearly unlimited budget for this project let your imagination run wild. Important considerations for me are enough automation to handle day to day and alert warnings. Ease of maintenance and accessibility.
