Things are not easy in the pool
The sun is very high now and the North side building does not give much shade.And it is very warm!
I keep feeding bbs and Otohime.
But now some brown algae bloomed.Could be T-ISO or PAV (no way to tell them apart)or even some wild weed.Water is turning brown,Secchi ruler was 25cm Friday and 18 cm yesterday.Temperatures climbed to 31.8ºC and pH rose to 9:96!
This shows again how algal activity depletes CO2 from the water launching the pH to the sky
.I dumped a bucket of rots expecting them to clear the water back.As stated before bs don´t grow in the tank.
Guess you´re wondering what happened with the baby tomatos?.Well,they´re just fine,enjoying their tidepool!
.Shows how relative (though well intentioned)is sometimes our concern in keeping rigid water parameters
Last Night a huge rainstorm fell down and today is rainy and cooler.The tank overflowed and was flushed with rain water. Salinity went from 1.023 to 1.014.Temp came to 22.7ºC and turbidity to 22 cm.pH keeps at 9.48.
The fish are OK,thank you!
So is life in the great outdoors
