HARTFORD REEF CLUB

 

About Us-

         The reef club was created so students can have exposure to the world of saltwater reef animals.  Several tanks and much equipment has been donated by other aquarium hobbyists so that we may have the opportunity to view and interact with saltwater creatures. However, the main source of funding comes from the aquaculture products the students create.  Thanks for all the support!

 

Meeting times: Wednesday from 3:00-4:15

 

Where: Mr. Blackmer’s room

 

Topics to be explored:

Designing a reef tank

How to set up a reef tank

Water quality testing

Culturing of phytoplankton

Growing of zooplankton (rotifers)

Propagating live corals from places like Fiji, Vanuatu, Maldives, Bali, etc.

Making aquarium rock from oyster shells and concrete

Thank you!

Mr. Blackmer
