Here are some charts of the Oly larvae that I’ve collected & counted to date

Some documentation

• A tentative June/July coverage schedule
• And my my notes from the meeting with Alice last week, which will develop into a Oly rearing protocol:

Arrival inspection

Larval buckets:

• Test bucket Check:
  • Not overflowing, despite not changing banjo yesterday.
  • T = 17.25 (T1)
  • pH = 7.88 (Durafet 2)
• Aeration looks good
• Algae concentration looks a bit weak - increased dosing rate from 60 -> 70
• New larvae in following catchment buckets:
  • K-10 Low - a bit
  • HL10 Low - a ton!
  • SN-6 Low B - a lot
  • SN-10 Low B- a lot
  • NF-6 Low B - a bit
  • NF-6 Amb A- a bit
• Maybe some in:
  • NF-10 Low B
  • NF-10 Low A
  • SN-6 Amb A
  • NF-10 Amb A
  • NF-6 Amb B

Need to buy:

• 15 feet 1/2 pvc flex hose (for freshwater flush)
• 1/4” tube connectors - straight
• 1/8” tube connectors- Y’s and straight

Need to make:

• Fresh water connection
• Pipe with lots of holes for catch freshwater flush outflow
• Microculch
• Assemble setting tank silos

Tasks Today

• Collect new larvae, stock, sample excess - DONE
  • This went smoothly, except that the banjo was left off group HL-10 low pH yesterday, so I therefore likely lost larvae. there still was quite a bit on the bottom of the bucket, but because of this likely fewer # of larvae in the bucket I added extra from today’s spawn.
• Make freshwater connection - NOT COMPLETE, but I figured ou what I need to purchase
• Clean top row broodstock & all components - DONE
• Record location of top shelf broodstock on manifold - DONE
• Change all banjos, drippers - DONE
• Feed - DONE. used - 1/2 Ciso, 1/2 CGW
  • Increased algae capacity so I can take Sunday off:
    • 200L for larval tank
    • 200L for other tank
    • 100L for gigas
• Image plates - NOT DONE

Discovered a flat tire on my bike, called an Uber- only $17, and he arrived within 15 minutes. Pretty sweet.
