Alright, so there was a tank sitting in the library at the college I attend. It was in horrible condition (see pictures below.) So I talked to the librarians there and figured out who to talk to. Talked to the head librarian, and she gave me the go-ahead to do the tank, but had to keep it minimal budget, to get someone to sponsor it. Long story short, I got a LFS to sponsor the tank :headbang2: I can pick up the supplies Monday or Tuesday, when the compact-florescent light that they're special ordering gets in! I'm so psyched! They're 100% paying for all the new equipment and livestock and plants! I'm SOOOOO happy!
Anyways, onto picture, here is what I've done so far...
This is what it looked like before I did anything to it.
This is the 15th bucket of water, I had to add in extra water to get all the crap out, it was so bad!:wall:
After 1 1/2 of working in the library, and getting lots of strange looks, It was a heck of a lot cleaner!
I'm going to see if the store would be willing to give us some eco-complete or something for it, but if now, whatever. They're already giving us so much! This is going to be such a fun tank, and for me, FREE! :grinyes:
Also, when I leave the school, I either have to find someone to take over after me, or tear down the tank... the library said I could have it when i leave
(I will offer the light and stuff back to the store obviously)
I've thrown in some used media from my tanks to get the cycle going! I can't wait to get this tank up and fully running! :dance2:
P.S. I didn't see a 'user journal' section, so I'll just post it here, let me know if there is a better place to post!
