150 Build - Kansas City

Pods in this week, shrimp coming next. ORP stabilized above 200 now. Got a wrong cable for my DOS, ordered the right one today. Making slow progress.

So my daughter wanted to contribute and ordered me two peppermint shrimp from Biota. They shipped 5!

Starting to get a little algal growth in the tank. Just started feeding today with the shrimp add. Neptune diet once a day, very small amount.

Ugly phase setting in. Moved the MP40's down a couple of inches for better movement off the bottom - running in Lagoon mode at 80% max. Shrimp doing well, fun to see them come out at feeding time. Currently once a day at noon - minimal pellets out of auto feeder. Want to order some livestock, but traveling for about a month and still having some freezes, so waiting a few more weeks.
