drew, i wish i was closer so i could donate something "concrete", but since im not, here's a recipe for aragocrete! this is basically concrete base rock, but a recipe that was made up by GARF... id trust it. Seems easy and i think ill try it one day. maybe a project to do with the kidies? could be messy though.

Yes, too bad it is the wrong province as I would be more than happy to donate frags down the road of easy to keep corals....what a fantastic idea! I think it will help the kids to have something that they have to work at to make succeed and flourish!

If your travelling north to Edmonton let me know. I'll load you up with some stuff, sand, possibly some rock, cheato, etc. If not I'll get in touch the next time I'm travelling home to Calgary and I'll drop some stuff off for you.

Got a standard 75 gallon tanks and steel stand non-drilled. Crack on the upper left corner, been repaired and holds water.(or at least for the last three years it has). Bucket of sand. Maybe some others.
Yours for the pickup, if you want. Paul

If someone (or ones) want to get together and donate the time and vehicles to come and get it I will donate a complete 230g system - tank, stand, lights, skimmer, live rock, fish, some coral etc. etc. - it is set up right now and running.

Drew; et all
I am going to drill the tank (24"x12.5x24h) on Sunday and thought I would run everything by you and all. I have a 1.5" glass hole saw and 2 spears 1/2" bulkheads. Do you want the holes at the end (12.5" pane) which would skim the whole surface; or the back (which I'm not sure I have glass to make the overflow) or on a back corner (top or bottom). Suggestions appreciated before Sunday (no critz after LOL). Kevin ps Drew in a week I will have a nice canopy and metal stand for this.

Kevin:
Awesome!! I'm totally inexperienced when it comes to drilling and plumbing, so hopefully some others can give you advice. That's very cool, though....then I can start picking up the other donations and putting it all together!

Reading a thread like this makes my heart warm!
Ruth - you are a SAINT - the sincere offer you made just made my jaw drop! Everyone else - good on you! At a time when the world doesn't always seem like such a nice place - you people have all stepped forward in community to consciously try and make a small part of it better for those less fortunate. I for one, am affected in a positive way already. With humility - thank you all! Jim.
