As the summer begins to turn towards the home stretch, the aquarium renovation underway in the Cox Science Center 184 is making strides to be completed just in time for the start of the semester!
Now, we have finally acquired a major aquarium rack to hold our refugium, clownfishes, and possibly more tanks and dry gear!

The rack was built this past weekend, and even now is being loaded with the prepared aquariums so that plumbing and electrical work can begin. Check out some pictures from the construction process in the slideshow below. Major thanks go out to the three Mikes who helped out in building the rack: Mike P. Connelly, Mike T. Connelly, and Mike Simet.
In closing, you should be excited about the aquariums that UMAC will be holding on to this year. With the rack a whole new range of projects can be started, from breeding and live feeds setups to coral propagation. A new academic year is on the way!
