Thanks Frank for feeding fish.
The water temp. Continues to reflect the higher than normal air temp. It has risen again from 21.9C to 22.5C since Thursday 5/10/06. This is critical to cold water fish such as Trout. We are trying to hangon until school resumes (Monday 16/10/06) to begin harvest.
Recirculation system had stopped supply of water to Tank 1 and Tank 2... needed backwash. BIG backwash, rinse and clean (brushed Interior of Tanks), cleaned filter basket. Refilled sump 500l and added 100g of Bi-Carb Soda to balance/buffer new tank water. Topped up Tank 7 (Yabbies) and Aquarium 1/3. Dumped Oyster shells from trailer (needed trailer). Turned off Ultraviolet sterilised- unsure if it contributes to water temp? Fish oiled locks. Removed rubbish to school industrial bin. Moved 'hot house' and gardening gear to ARC.
Jobs NEEDED to be done.
Close monitoring of water quality- pH, Temp
Further backwash
Water Chrysanthemums
Hell, Vaccination ... as well!
