I promised I'd post pics of the upgrade @ my school. And I want to particularly thank rockstarfish for the sweet deal on the tank and most of the plumbing. And Todd Poulsen of Mark's Ark for donating a bucket of salt.   " border="">  I had to take the cabinet doors off to make room for the new sump because their fancy Euro hinges protruded back about 3"! so i'm replacing those. ------------- David Cutler |

It looks sooo much better than the old one that the health department wanted us to take down because we had "things growin' in there"  . I'm confident their next inspection will go better. BTW - We are ready for some lps if anyone is willing to do donate a frag or 2, or some caulerpa for the sump  ------------- David Cutler |

I'm going with decorative/marketable macros just so I can trade them in @lfs. Working w/o a budget demands creativity . So any caulerpas (especially Mexicana/feather, my personal fav) would be greatly appreciated. I'm there Tues-Thurs, and can meet you there on Fri. The school is at 11205 S. Black Cherry way (just West of 13th W.) LMK and thanks! 801-651-5262 David ------------- David Cutler |

They do. Ya know it was the the kids that wrote cards and even essays to the principal that convinced him to fight to keep it  . Latest news: 2 of the 4 t5's bulbs burned out (or maybe it's a ballast). Todd Poulsen (who had donated the t5 fixture in the 1st place) is soliciting his distributors to donate a new LED fixture! and we were down to only a couple of snails so he's bringing in a fresh "cleanup crew". ------------- David Cutler |

| We are building a house near by and my daughter will be attending this school for the next school year. I have a 4 gallon nano I'm getting bored with and I would like to take it down. I would like to donate all that's in it. Some zoo's, a bicolor pseudochromis fish, fire shrimp, a green leather (very cool), and a couple other corals. I have a new red sea test kit and maybe some other stuff. PM me or call eight01 eight42-2898 to work out the logistics. |

Thanks Jackie. You're a peach . Tank Update: Akira just donated 4! mini rbta's, 2 shrooms, a huge colony of pulsing Zenia, and all the hardware for a 6 bulb t5 HO retrofit. So even if the LED's don't come through we have a great back up. Chad, I think we're good on rbta's. thanks though. This new tank is turning into reef!  ------------- David Cutler |
