WAHS Reef Aquarium Project

 

Exciting News!

We added a Marineland 300 gallon deep dimension tank to our system in May of 2010 as a gift from the Class of 2010. It is stocked with a mix of soft, SPS and LPS coral, lit with high efficiency LED lighting and has high efficiency pumps and skimmer. It's one of the greenest 300 gallon tanks on the planet! We debuted the tank at the WAHS Prom at the Scottish Rite and then moved it to the school.

And...

We added two coral propagation tanks that have a total of 24 square feet of coral growing area. The propagation tanks will also be lit with LEDs in the near future. These are exciting times at school!

Behind the Scenes Tours at the Odyssey of the Mind Tournament

Our school will host the Pennsylvania Odyssey of the Mind State Finals Tournament this April. We'll be giving tours of the aquarium room and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

We Hosted the NCPARS Spring 2010 Frag Swap and are planning to repeat the event this spring.

Thanks for a great swap everyone!
