The design brief for this project is as follows:

Team design brief- To design, model, and build a simulated horseshoe crab habitat that will mimic their natural environment in a laboratory setting for the purpose of raising 100 six month to one year old horseshoe crabs and to allow for scientific research.

Personal design brief- To design and create a water flow system that provides the tank with all of the environmental requirements that horseshoe crabs need, as well as filter and cool the water.
