Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Yes that's the one I have been trying to lead the kids to come up with but they are having a hard time getting there. I found one made using a take out food container. If anyone has a "first attempt" that is not needed anymore, I can use it as a sample students can work to improve its design.
I have challenged my students to design a "nitrate reduction" system. Otherwise known to us as an algae scrubber. They are struggling a bit. I don't show them DIY videos because I don't want them to just copy from the video. So I thought I would show them failed or inadequate designs that they...
I actually took this idea from a college professor at Pratt who challenged his students to keep aiptasia in their dorm rooms. Hoping to inspire future reef keepers while teaching them science!
Awhile back I posted an interest in aiptasia donations. Probably many of you thought I was nuts. I wanted to share a recent tank setup in our classroom. The goal is to raise anemones to eventually share with students to keep at home in a little mini reef jar. I am so excited to get the tanks...
I was hoping you guys could help me get the word out by sharing this flyer on your social media. In return, I would like to offer a similar class to the children of NJReefers at no charge. I will run the NJReefer class mid June through July. More details to follow. Please shoot me a message so...

Everything opened up and looks great. Thanks again and great meeting you. If you are fragging something I didn't get let me know. I may have to come back down.
