no offense, but why? sounds like a terrible idea to me... lol. sorry for my honesty.

you'd never get to enjoy it and you'd spend a ton of money on batteries. when would you work on it? between classes?

Sounds like a bad idea to me...way too much maintenance and so many possible problems, all for very little it seems.

I think a goldfish bowl would be pretty cool. Im not too sure about a saltwater tank. The thoguht is there. And why not put a fish tank/bowl in your locker, that would be the coolest thing ever. lol.

A school locker? No doubt against school rules. What if it leaked and ruined someone elses property?

You'd have to lug it home for breaks (winter, summer & spring). Couldn't control the temp and what if the school sprayed for pests, the chemicals could get in the tank.

Very bad idea.

I would not do it, but a kid tried it at my school once. He just had a goldfish bowl with a betta fish in it.
