    Here is the tank i am in charge of taking care of at college... The tank was set up in the HUB which is our central building on campus. The system is a 500G pacific theme DT, 100G Caribbean themed DT, and 100G sump all together.

    I maintain everything about this tank; water change, skimmer, reactors, cleaning, whatever else comes up... however other students do help out with the feeding on various days of the week.

    That'd be a responsibility to enjoy being burdened with. Very cool tank.

    Cool gig Dingo, I would love to take care of that tank as well as reap some of the benefits for volunteering to do so. Sanjay mentioned free frags :)


    Looking forward to checking out the equipment room tour as well. I was really excited to see what was going on and then the video just ended haha. Any idea of when that will be posted?
