Hello.
I am setting up a freshwater tank in a 5th Grade classroom. I'm looking for input from people who have experience with this.
I plan on using a 90 gallon aquarium with a Fluval 404 filter and two 48" double fluorescent tubes for lighting.
I am fine with general aquarium knowledge, ie set up, cycling, maintenance, stocking etc. But I'm wondering of anyone out there had learned any "classroom specific" techniques, cautions, ideas, etc. that would help. Things that should be done, or not done. Breeds that for some reason are better (or worse) for a classroom environment. Maybe just some war stories or neat curriculum ideas you've had.
Thanks.
