Tutor Master - Summer School Visit 2024

We're thrilled to host a group of 11 school students for a fun and educational experience working with Nick from Tutor Master.  

 
Our young guests are here to learn about the fascinating work we do in industry, for the hobby and aquariums throughout the UK and Europe.  

We started off by giving the students a little bit of background of TMC with our latest YouTube Video on what we do at our facilities. We also talked about our latest efforts in sustainable fish keeping with our Ranched Fish concept. There's a full video on our channel if you want to understand more.  

We then split the students into small groups of 2/3 then one group went with Nick one of our directors here who was able to take them behind the scenes of the filtration systems to show what it takes to run a facility of this size from sand filters to protein skimmers, giant pumps and a whole room filled with UV sterilizers.  

They then moved into a fun and interactive session with our livestock manager Mark and the team in the fish house to see some invertebrates and get the opportunity to also hold some too from starfish to shrimps. They got to tour around the facilities then finished with a talk about how to create a beautiful saltwater aquarium using our Next Wave 60 tank running in our reception area.  

 
It’s been a fantastic day full of learning and inspiration. We could see our young visitors leave with a greater appreciation for marine life and the work we do here at the Tropical Marine Centre.
