We are high schoolers at Naperville North High School, a small business run by a group of people that fell in love with the reefs. Our business began when we started a aquarium and reefing club at our school. Our aim was to set up reef tanks in our school’s library, creating a thriving aquatic ecosystem that would teach people the importance of marine biology and conservation while also making our school more decorative and fun! Overall, it has been a pretty good success, as we have been able to create multiple reef tanks with thriving ecosystems of fish. However, starting and maintaining an aquarium club at our school is pretty expensive for high schoolers, so we started AquaReef Co, a phytoplankton business with hopes to sell our products and raise funds for our club. Not only does it help us make our school a cooler and more beautiful place, it also gives us first hand experience in the business world!
