How MUCH Water is in that Aquarium?

Students will need to collect data-
Height, Length and Width of Aquariums in the ARC to then apply a formula to determine the volume of water each is capable of carrying.

This is vital in:
  • adding salt to make the water suitable for marine/salt water species
  • determining water flow and aeration
  • applying chemicals for illness
AND
  • total biomass verses water volume to calculate the number and size of fish each aquarium can support.
