still alive

...this was a triumph (doododoodo)..

yes! theyre still alive, ohh happy day.

unfortunately, this DOES set me back time wise... especially since im going to ORCHID ISLAND tomorrow! have to be up bright and early and at lab by 6:30am for the taxi to get to the ferry before 7:30am. hope i have enough money... yikes =\

also, the water pump at the aquarium and lab broke down, so there was a huge water crisis and people's experiments were messed up because of it.

i hope to have some pictures up soon of coral mortality... thank goodness you can't smell stuff through the internet.

WANTED CORAL KILLER

NOO!!!

unfortunately, due to negligence and inattentiveness to my coral samples, i am sad to say that they died!!! DDD==

nooooooooooooooo!!

so i had to go clean up the tank, and oh my god, did it smell HORRIBLE. it was like, a hint of rotten dead fish in the water, and lots of white, milky stuff that came off the coral after it died. ugh, i feel ridiculously stupid for letting this happen.

*sobs*

ok, time to stop the whine and self-pitying and move on. i do still have a few samples that are alive. i'm going to wait for them to recover and hope that this won't set me back in terms of time... =\
