So, I'd like to extend an invitation to anyone who's up for a trip to this
site on Saturday, March 6, for a re-run. If serious rains avoid north
Alabama for the next two weeks it the river should be both shallower and at
least a little warmer. Let me know off line at the address I've posted from.
The good news is, I now have blackspotted topminnows (Fundulus olivaceus) in
the 135 gal. tank I talked about several weeks ago. The bunches of Cabomba I
planted have doubled in size, from about 15 to 30 cm tall, and grown
bushier. The Elodea clumps have probably grown by 50% and sent down new
roots into the sand. As well as the H.O.T. Magnum, I've put a medium sized
powerhead in the tank near the bottom and underneath the H.O.T. pusing water
in parallel to the H.O.T.'s output, so there's a significant
counterclockwise current in the tank. So I guess the T8 actinics in the
light hood work...(!)
I couldn't snag any darters today either, so I can't tell Bob Muller if the
local population of muscadines are coloring up.
