Looks good! Great idea for the students!

I myself have A.D.D., and when I was in junior high there was a tank in two of my classes...(and one in highschool too) sure they 'could' be distracting if the whole class saw one fish bite another and the kid sitting next to the tank decided to tell everyone... but I thought other students were 200x more distracting than the tanks.

(well, I had my own cooler tanks at home anyways even by then haha... MTS ftw... so goldfish and tetras were hardly distracting).

I have to agree that things like this, the actual things like the symbiosis (mutualism) between the shrimp and goby... or the different phyla of animals, etc... the chemistry... all of that kind of stuff right at your fingertips with a good application to literally 'view' it from, is definitely great for the class. Glad its working out for you (this thread and the other).

Cheers,

Chris
