Augsburg College Biology-Donated Aquarium
A generous donation, a new reef system, and new opportunities: For some years now, the Augsburg College Biology Department has maintained a thriving reef aquarium system, which has enhanced the teaching of invertebrate and plant biology, and has fascinated students (see Augsburg reef aquarium web site ).
During the summer of 2001, the existing reef 130 gallon reef system was also used for nutrient import/export research by biology major Keneeshia Williams .
However, the size and setup of the existing system has limited the sorts of research that could be done.
For example, controlled studies of coral growth and colony development would need much more open tank space than existed in our 130 gallon system.
This limitation is now being lifted, thanks to the very generous donation of a large reef aquarium system to the department.
Early this summer, Professor Bill Capman recieved an e-mail from fellow Twin Cities Marine Aquarium Society member Shaun Huszarik asking whether we could use his 220 gallon, 7' x 2' x 2' reef tank.
Shaun was about to move to the west coast and could not take his large impressive reef system with him.
As of the time of this writing (Fall 2001), the new system is thriving, and it is being developed into a multi-tank reef system designed expressly for the purpose of supporting student research with live corals and other marine organisms.

Aquarium Kits: An Ideal Solution for a First Saltwater Aquarium
Fun, fascinating saltwater aquariums make a great hobby for the whole family.
Thanks to recent innovation and increased knowledge about the care of captive marine fish and invertebrates, keeping a saltwater aquarium is easier than ever.
If you are looking to set up a saltwater aquarium, consider an all-inclusive aquarium package that contains the equipment you need for a successful start.
First, choose the size of aquarium you wish to install.
When selecting aquarium size, consider the following: the needs of the species of fish and invertebrates you wish to raise, the space and weight of the aquarium, and the associated financial responsibility.
Clownfish, for example, require a minimum of a 30-gallon aquarium, which must be placed on a stable, strong surface and requires a considerable investment to maintain.
These relatively inexpensive systems are easy to install and maintain.
The 29-Gallon Saltwater Aquarium Kit, for example, includes everything you need to get started - aquarium, hood, heater, thermometer, synthetic aquarium salt, hydrometer, test kit, water conditioner, and instruction booklet.
If you prefer more of a do-it-yourself approach to setting up a relatively small saltwater aquarium, consider SeaClear Eclipse Compatible Aquariums.
