New member -- teaching tank at university

[gryphern]

My tank is minimalist -- no protein skimmer, and only a biological filter made of aquarium sponge to help process ammonia and nitrite. I use a a marine omnivore gel as a spot feed for the biggest animals, occasional add in some live brine shrimp, then let the mini-biosphere produce everything else.

The animals in the tank get used for 100 students a week in a Zoology class.

So I have very hardy sponges, cucumbers, brittlestars, sea peaches, etc.
A SINGLE SEA PEACH CAN AND WILL FILL YOUR TANK WITH TINY SEA PEACHES OVER TWO YEARS.

Welcome. I love the teaching tank idea. Ours is in our home, but we homeschool and my son wants to be a marine biologist. We use ours obviously for enjoyment but also as a teaching tool in my son's curriculum.

Now we are all hooked, including my husband. LOL

Welcome. Have you yet asked what eats Sea Peaches?

What do you mean the animals get used for 100 students a week?
