Alright, so the tank has been going ok. The ATO system that I had with the aqualifter pump failed. I don't know why the aqualifter isn't working, even at 28" of head. The max is 30" so I think it's somehow a design flaw. Though, I am thankful for the two weeks that it worked. I'm considering buying a small 2.5g tank and setting it up on some kind of shelf beside the 10g on the side so that aqualifter pump will really work well, like it is supposed to. I just got to tweak some things. As it is now, the little sump that I have on there I have to fill it up about three or four times a day by hand to keep the return pump from running dry. But, that's ok with me for the next few days until I can figure out something better.
The little chunk of montipora that I have in the tank has started to shed some of it's skin in spots. I don't think it's the water flow going through the tank. I think it's really just new tank syndrome, so to speak. I'm going to add a little phyto to the tank each week after a water change and let it mature for a few more weeks. The monti still isn't dead or anything - it's just stressed.
Anyways, that's all for now about the tank.
I am back in school, and even though I'm not taking chemistry this semester, I think I am going to have a very difficult time. Though, the highest level course I am taking is a Jr. level course, I have to spend a lot of time outside of class reading and even observing teachers. I am taking 14 hours of credit - and they are all going towards my major at this time. I'm glad that I am not taking an extra unnecessary course like I was going to. As of right now:
Plant and Animal Form and Function
PAFF lab
Cell Biology
Genetics
Genetics lab
Curriculum and Instruction 2001
This is my last semester of Biology courses. After this semester, it's straight Curriculum and instruction courses where I get to be a lot more in the classroom and learning how to teach. I'm pretty excited, since I only have four semesters left before I walk that stage. I'm pretty excited.
