Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I think distilled water is very doable. The goal will be to have the students observe changes, increased size, reproduction, etc. I like the idea of adding inverts because it will add to the excitement. Maybe I can do this as a phase two after they have some success. I am concerned until they...
This project will be for kids who may never have considered keeping a reef setup. In addition, parents may be skeptical. So my thoughts are to put together ideas for a setup that does not cost much money. For some kids it might end after a couple weeks but hopefully they will learn some valuable...
