[GSAS-Member] Volunteer request
For the last few years I have been maintaining a 55 gal. tank at a local
nursing home. GSAS provided the complete setup as a philanthropic project
back in about 2003.
Next month my wife and I are moving to Anacortes and I won't be able to
take care of the tank anymore, so if anyone who might be interested in
taking on this project could contact me I will provide further details.
The tank is located in the skilled nursing facility at Providence Mt. St.
Vincent in West Seattle. This is not your typical nursing home."The Mount"
is a warm, cheerful community run by a very upbeat, caring staff. This is
the place you would want your family members to live, should the need arise.
The tank has been remarkably trouble free. It's a platted tank stocked with
fairly tough fish - tetras,barbs, rainbows etc. The maintenance consists of
cleaning the algae off the sides and topping off the water weekly, cleaning
the filter (sponge) about once a month, and occasional pruning / thinning
of plants and water changes.
There are other tanks throughout the campus, all serviced by a commercial
outfit. I have been told over and over that "our tank" is the favorite by
far because it is so natural rather than a box of fish and rocks.
I have found my experience at the Mount to be very rewarding in many ways
and really do hate to leave.
Please email me or call if interested. 206-938-1583.
Bob
