Hi all,
I've been reading here for a week or so, and I've just had some good news.
A little background info;
I'm a uni science graduate and now working as a Science Technician at a College. I'm dealing with a couple of subject areas, but one of them is Environmental Science and Geology.
The college has some fish already, but it was suggested I could set up a new tank in one of my new laboratories!
As the college already has some fish, I searched through their equipment and I've managed to get together a 60cmx30x30 tank (estimate), a new heating element, filter, air pump and substrate.
As for water testing etc, I have access to some great test kits (environmental science equipment), pH meters, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate etc.
I've also been told, as far as plants and fish and any extras that are needed, it will all be funded. I just need to choose what I want in the tank and order it.
I'm pretty exited about this as I've wanted to buy my own tank for at home, but to have one funded and set up myself, at my place of work, is great!
I'll be posting a little step by step as it gets underway with photos.
But I may need to ask you guys/girls for advice along the way - as this is the first time for me.
Hope you'll all enjoy.
