Hello all, I am a science teacher at the new Cedar Valley High School in Eagle Mountain.  I have been asked to teach marine biology, which is only offered at one other school in Alpine School District. Being a new school and class I do not have many of the resources established yet that a marine biology class “should” have, IMHO.  I am trying to set up a 125g and 300g tank and would appreciate and be eternally grateful for any donation that you might be able to offer.  They are both dry and empty right now.  Things like old lights, salt, sand, and live stock would be gratefully accepted. 
No animals were harmed in this post, however a few billion electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

I'm not sure what I have for donations... random additives and stuff... but I'll be super interested to see what you use for curriculum.  I also a high school level marine biology course, and a few high school marine biology summer programs.

Fast growing/Invasive corals like Green Star Polyp, Xenia and Montipora capricornis would be good for study because they can actually grow fast enough to notice obvious differences from day to day. Also you could easily have enough of them so that the students could conduct experiments like taking two frags of the same size and then measuring the growth differences in different tank parameters. If a student kills a frag no big deal because it's cheap and abundant.
I'd be happy to donate some of any/all of those three once you have a system cycled enough.
