New Knowledge

Day 10. Mussel Check at 0600

Visual tank inspections looked good for airflow and water clarity; continued reduction in food since yesterday. Mussels were still aggregated in their respective bags/ coolers. The airflow in blue remains a bit lower than in red. Will continue to monitor.
