This last year our program was able to donate two large tanks that where extra to the Marine Biology program at Boone High School. This donation in part with the help from the local reef club made it possible for their program to begin. It is important for us to invest in the future of our hobby and what a great way to do so. Our program started with one 29 gallon tank many years ago and now we have over 16,000 gallons. This donation their program will benefit high school students for years to come!
