Getting the Tank Ready

The Seaquaria Team were in the school on Monday, November 10, to begin setting up our sea tank for the year.  They put in the gravel bottom, water, some algae (seaweeds) and started all of the systems.  They put some animals in as well - plumose anemones, tiny sea snails and barnacles.  We checked on the systems today, and everything was fine except our hydrometer seems to be broken and we will need a new one.  If all of the systems look good by the end of the week, the team will put in the rest of our critters.  Our beautiful sail fine sculpin from last year will be coming back!!!
