Water Is In!

Yesterday, Alex and Sophie stayed after school to spread the live sand across the bottom of our tank and mixed 4 1/2 cups of sea salt mix into 4 1/2 gallons of dechlorified tap water. They then poured the water into our tank, making our tank look very, very murky. We hope that the water will settle well over the course of this weekend and look better on Monday. (No pictures, yet again)

We will purchase roughly 3 pounds of live rock on Monday!

Tanks Have Arrived!

Our tanks arrived Tuesday afternoon!!! We spent this morning opening the box, setting up the light, water heater, thermometer, and lid for our tank. Tomorrow we hope to make the salt water mix and add the live sand into the tank. Unfortunately, no pictures for today, but we hope to remember to bring a camera for tomorrow!

Fundraising Success!

Yesterday, Patrick and Sophie raked and bagged leaves, earning $55 for our aquarium supplies. Our next big purchase will be 3-4 pounds of live rock.

Aquariums should arrive any second now...
