Well, we have had our first major hurdle of this school year. On Wednesday, the chiller working in the room tank quit working. Water temps quickly spiked to near 70 degrees. Luckily, we have the other tank in the lab, so ice was quickly added and half of the fish moved to the other tank. The rest of the fish were emergency stocked - 81 of them. To date, 136 brookies have been stocked in two different stockings, and the lab tank still has over a 100 fish in it. It has been a great year!!
After contacting Tradewinds Chillers, they have placed a new chiller in the mail. Hopefully it will be here soon so we can alleviate some of the crowding in the lab tank. We are hoping to stock the remaining fish sometime in mid-May.
