Eggs Batch 1

Our first batch of eggs arrived on Wednesday, November 3rd at about 10:20 AM.  We quickly started sorting them and eventually moved this batch of eggs into the room tank.  Total of 451 viable eggs went into the tank.

This is the next day:

The second batch is being shipped out November 8th, with the majority expecting to be sac fry already.  A lot of our eggs hatched over the weekend.

Birdhouses

BJHS ESP Environmental Issues class just finished up construction of bluebird boxes for installation at various stream improvement projects around our area.  Several will be installed next spring at the Thorn Creek Habitat Improvement Project when classes go to tour and complete testing activities.

Tanks are running

This week, we fired the chillers up to make sure that both tanks will be ready for the eggs when they arrive in November.  Water levels and chemistry is being checked daily, and we have been playing with the chiller settings to make sure that all is ok.  So far, everything seems like we are ready to go for this year with both of our tanks...
