Looking to donate 425xl to school

[tmantaylor18]

I donated some stuff to a guy that works at a school in Santa Teresa area but don’t have his information anymore. Anyone know of any schools that might like a tank? Would love to help get a younger generation into the hobby. Please don’t message me asking for the tank. Thanks everyone

Hello! I was referred to this post from the Bay Area Reefer community, I am a teacher at Lost Altos High School just north of San Jose, and am interested if this is still available? Thanks so much, let me know at your convenience!

Hello! Following up on this tank, wondering if it is still available? Thanks!

I believe you are talking about me, yes, the school tank was set up for 4 years. Barely living through a power outage over thanksgiving break years ago before finally crashing massively during covid when I could not get into the school for months on end. It was taken down for good in early 2021. It was a lot of work but the children really enjoyed it.

It’s crazy how I’ve heard that same story a whole bunch from other teachers I know in the area. Are you looking to donate it to another school? I have some very excited students starting up a marine conservation club and would love to bring a decent tank into the mix.

I wish I was, but I moved out of the area in March of 2021. It was a blast while it lasted, I had donations from so many members on here. I even had quality marine give a donation after the power outage during thanksgiving. It was so much fun to see all the excitement from the children when they visited the library.
Perhaps sometime in the future I will be able to do that again.
