Year Long Aquarium Program
This program allows you to have a 40 gallon salt water aquarium in your school for the entire school year!
We will set up your aquarium with local marine life and fact sheets about each of them. We will then return every three weeks to maintain it for you. All you have to do is feed your animals and turn their light off at night. Pre-measured food jars make feeding easy. The aquarium and its inhabitants will be picked up at the end of the school year.
$800/ year for RI schools $1100/year for MA and CT schools
