Today I cleaned the tanks in FTR and Jon moved in new tanks to the tank room.

Tank cleaning

• Full water change and added new water with salinity at approx. 25 psu
• Added new round of food (lower feeding than in past weeks)
• Rinsed all oysters and crates/containers
• Rinsed all pumps and bubblers
• Washed floor

New tanks

Jon moved in three new small tanks for projects in the FTR room.

Here are the things I need to do for the new tanks:

• Add water and allow to soak for 2-3 days
• Make new standpipes with PVC and add teflon tape or silicon sealant (not adhesive) to ensure they do not leak
• Do a fill test to make sure the tanks hold water
• Add a small pump and small heater to each and start Apex systems if we want to do temperature controlled experiments
