Getting Started


Now that we have our aquarium, we want to get started immediately and get some progress on it before Winter Break, which starts on December 16th. Our Monday Aquarium Adventures visit was sadly cancelled, but we still have Tuesday! Brant is planning on purchasing sand to go in the tank along with some rocks and coral to get the main structure in. Also, some plants and a cheapo fish might be added in.
We are realizing now that we should have done more research in advance because Liz is questioning whether or not it is too early for a fish and plants. She believes that we should put the landscape in and let the water do a complete cycle before we add anything living to it.
Love,
The Megaminds.

Finally Here!!

After waiting week after week for it to arrive, we were pleasantly greeted by our aquarium today on November 17th! We set it up in class today and now the real work begins. We will be attending Aquarium Adventures on Monday and maybe Tuesday as well and hope to purchase structure for our aquarium and some basic fish. We also need to finish reading up on salt water aquariums because Liz got a $45 fine from the library for overdue aquarium books that we never got around to actually reading.
Love,
The Megaminds.
P.S. We are also mourning the loss of our dear companion and teammate Jason, who suddenly has left the school for good. Our team is incomplete. R.I.P. Jason, we hope you are enjoying your new school.
