Hey everybody,
I was put in change of a 55 gal tank at my college. In the summer they work with inner city kids and they have a touch tank for them to look at. Personally I think it is a dumb idea b/c right now they have. Not much in such a big tank.
55 Gal.
1- Cucumber
1- Big Sail
1- Chocolate chip star
1- Pencil Sea Urchin.
I would much rather turn it into a shallow reef but the head lady insists on having a touch tank so she wants me to find more stuff to put in. So does anyone have any other suggestions for this tank?

turn it into a reef and let her experiment with touching the anemones

then maybe she'll conclude a touch tank isn't such a good idea

always better to ask forgiveness than permission

Seriously though, I have no idea of anything you could add...hermit crabs maybe?

Ya i would love to turn it into a reef. Its a cool thing the touch tank that is. The kids really like it. Seeing things that don't look real move around and are alive. Most of them have never even seen some of this stuff before.
Haven't ever dealt with a horse shoe crab are they hard to keep alive?
Thanks
Mike
