Hi Biofeedback,
Do you mind sharing with us more in detail as to what kind of volunteer work are they looking at and who is the point of contact?
When you say nursing home, do you mean that the occupants of the home can't take part in the process of fish rearing at all?
The reason why I am asking is because if there can be interaction between occupants and the tanks and potentially the volunteers, I may be able to ask for the schools to participate as CIP.
Let me know.
Thanks.
Its the Peacehaven Nursing Home, located over at Upper Changi Road North.
Reason for the tanks, other than to beautify the place, we also believe that it might have some therapeutic effect for them.
Maintainence of the tanks would include water change, cleaning, and trimming (if its planted). Then of course the setting up is necessary.
They have several wards but are not air-conditioned. So not sure if heavily planted will be a good idea. Introduction of chiller would mean that they have to up electrical bills. However, they are open to any suggestion at this point of time.
Right now they will need to secure all equipments first and I think once all of that is ready, the Volunteer Coordinator will be contacting us.
Thank you all for your responses!
I would like to volunteer my services, do let me know how I can help in setting up and maintaining the tanks

To all Bros,
I am humbled and want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your contributions whether in time or equipments, and especially for Altum_Lover76 for the coordination!
I am very sure that your tanks will have a therapeutic effect and would be an asthetic addition to the residents' living areas.
God bless all of you!
Hi Biofeedback,
No worries about all the work involved in getting the stuffs there. Next week there will be one more unit for collection from Montfort as today the vehicle was filled to the brim by Frank's love gift.
I believe most if not all of us here in AQ would want to help promote this God Given hobby in any ways possible so that many more may enjoy the healing power of a planted aquaria.
Meanwhile, give me some time to arrange with Desmond to pop by and set up the tanks.
Blessings!!
Yes, we'll definitely go down and help setup for the residents, give me some time to sort out some family issue as my dad just got stroke so I've to put him as my top priority

I went down today with my daughter and we manage to set up one of the 4 feet. It is a vivarium set up featuring local floras. Will post the work in progress photos later. For the other tank, we need stuffs like coral chips and dead corals cos one of the staff there has already bought lake Malawi cichilds...
I also saw the tank set up by bro Biofeedback in the dementia ward. Nice!
Cool, do please update us with photos when all are done.
Finished both the two tanks with the corporate sponsor... Did not get to touch it due to 2 weeks quarantine as my children were down with HFMD...
Will post the pictures once I have them ready.
Stay tuned.
Once again to those whom have donated your equipments, thank you very much.
