Our oceans and coral reefs are in danger of disappearing. Children are fascinated with the ocean and “Nemo”. As an educator I see an amazing opportunity for learning on multiple levels. This equipment will allow my students and future students to learn about our reefs, the symbiotic relationships of species, water chemistry and may inspire them to one day to be a marine biologist or save our oceans. I currently have a saltwater tank set up with a pair of clownfish in class and I would like to convert it to an anemone tank. I am an experienced reef aquarist. This equipment would make that possible.
