Has anyone got any experience of doing this?
Since moving to my current job where I'm on the same site all week and also work all year round I've wondered on involving the kids in setting up and maintaining what I assume would ideally a low tech planted tank, I'd not fancy the 50% weekly water change that goes with EI though it isn't beyond the realms of possiblity.
We'd have little to no money to fund the project, so it may be down to any aquatic shops/suppliers who may be willing to sponsor it with the aquarium, filtration, lighting, substrate/plants/fertiliser (assuming perhaps TPN+ or equivalent) and finally the fish choice.
We have a large entrance area once inside the main front doors of the school and this area isn't a through-way for pupils, only school staff, so it wouldn't be a noisy or busy area.
Something around the 2.5 to 3 feet width seems to feel right to me, anything smaller I'd find a little limiting and anything bigger is perhaps a bit silly.
Anyone got any thoughts or experience with this, and do you think suppliers etc. would be willing to help?
