college

Is this a bad idea? I'm a senior and really want to start a tank before I go to college. I don't care whether it's a 20g that takes up my whole dresser or if it's a 1g bowl on my nightstand. I just love corals and fish. I do online schooling, so I am home literally all day if that makes any...

Please note: I would like to hear what your hippo tang in specific has done and would like to avoid what any other tangs have done in your tank, thank you for your participation. Hello all, I'm currently an undergrad student trying to conduct independent research on tang aggression. More...

Ah I’m a senior right now and going off to college in August. I have a pretty well established reef tank, but I don’t want to tear it down. It would be something I would really miss in college and I doubt my mom would be able to take care of it. I know some colleges allow a 10 or 20 gallon tank...

Hi, I am drafting a college essay right now and wanted to write about my hobby (fish keeping). I want to write the intro with a lot of descriptive imagery so the reader can close their eyes and vividly see a beautiful reef or planted aquarium. I wanted some feedback as to why you joined and...

I'm a college student in Texas returning to school to finish a my degree after some time off and I'm setting up my first saltwater tank! I'm excited to begin this journey, why don't you come along for the ride with me? I've been eyeballing this project for over a year, but I kept putting it off...

Hey guys, So I am a college student who has been successfully keeping coral for about two years now and I do aquarium set-ups, breakdowns, and maintenance for one of my LFS but need some other kind of income because as I progress in college, my schedule is getting crazier because I am trying to...

An update on the fish tanks in my college dorm room!

While this may be the weirdest thing to ask online in a reef aquarium discussion forum, does anyone know of any scholarships for college that are related for aquarium keepers? I'm trying to find any scholarships in order to help pay for college. For those of you who want to know me a bit...

OK, well they might not be getting degrees but they are for sure helping me get mine! I am currently a Junior at a small school in Ohio and I have something no one else has, a pair of badbutt clownfish! I have been keeping reef tanks for about 7 years now and after all that time I finally feel...

I just posted a new video highlighting some challenges I've had over the years of keeping a reef tank! Check it out! Any student reefers on here? Or anybody who also kept a tank in college?

I already maintain a small tank for a school project, but I will be leaving for college soon. As you cannot drive freshman year, I need to find a way to distill or acquire R.O water for my tank. Any ideas? It will be a 10 gallon tank with full spectrum lighting and several coral.
