I have a key to get inI have a coworker who has been helping with a school tank. She said that she can’t get into the building on weekends because she doesn’t have a key.
I would plan to automate top off water and get help with water changes to make the job easier and keep the parameters healthy.
I agree, I’ve helped with many school tanks over the years and holiday / weekend access can be a challenge. Another issue we had was a school that turned their thermostats down to 55 f on weekends in the winter to save energy. Another risk is kids messing with the tank.I have a key to get in

Yeah I am getting paid and I am by myself for now I have a buddy who is helping me out. And I have accesss to the school anytime I am friends with the owners .Depending on the school and district. You may have to get clearances if you don’t already. Are you going to be paid to do it? Is it just you? Is the tank setup already? I ask because not all schools have budgets for it and often it may run out of the teacher’s own pockets or charity funds etc. I have found it to be a lot more time and work than it’s worth especially since I wasn’t being paid. And often it needs more than just after hours access unless you have an extremely dedicated staff member or teacher who knows saltwater aquariums already. For me I handed my duties over to someone else entirely but for me it was a time thing. I simply could not be there as much as I thought I would. As others have said access and room temperatures especially in the summer can be an issue.
And what size is the tank? That’s good then.Yeah I am getting paid and I am by myself for now I have a buddy who is helping me out. And I have accesss to the school anytime I am friends with the owners .
