March 30

Lots of issues coming up this week.  We have nitrates and ammonia thru the roof in the large lab tank - we were getting readings of nitrates at 120 and ammonia close to 2.  We have been doing large water changes each day, and we are still high - and we moved 47 more fish back to the room tank to get numbers down.  I hope the tank is just trying to cycle, but worried that we might be getting excess nutrients into the tank.  I will keep updates coming...

Our trout seem to be adjusting well to life in the new tank.  I will post pics soon, but we now have a 110 gallon stock tank that we are using for some of our fish.  We moved all fish over to the tank to clean out the aquarium, and brought 53 back.  We have a total of 251 brookies still in the tanks.

Sorry for the long delay - issues with log-ins here at school.  Fish have been doing very well - they are growing fast and will soon be moved into the new larger tank.  About 2 months till stocking time.
