Hey all. I know its been awhile since my last post. Things at work picked up, and my fall semester at school started. So a quick update. All of the animals are doing well. More content is planned, here is a short video of Buddy.

My biggest fear has happened. We are without power. When you're used to hearing 15,000 gallons of water per hour flowing through the house, when it suddenly stops it's quite the eerie feeling. Luckily we came prepared. First we set up a siphon to drain water, preventing the sump from overflowing and flooding the room. Second we fired up the generator. We're only running 2 pumps to circulate water and one light, but it'll keep everything stable.

An update to the mystery snails. The largest of the offspring are roughly 4-5mm in diameter. Growth seems to be increasing as they grow.

Negatives, all spawning activities have stopped, and water quality has become exponentially harder to maintain.

Something we have learned, that tends to be true in most cases. Animal colonies will only grow up to a sustainable size. There will be an explosion of population. Then resources, space, environmental balance all become compromised. The population will then dwindle until balance is reached and thats where it will maintain. We are in the dwindling down phase. I knew we would reach this point, but I did expect it to take longer. I am unable to get an estimate of total number of living snails as some of them are only 1-2mm at this time.

Next step? Regroup, contine to upgrade and improve.

A throw back to the first multi aquarium system I built. 5 tanks 310 total gallons. We've come a long way.

Today, Onyx, Hank, Hulk, and we cant forget our courageous guard dog Koby all had some outdoor time. The guniea pigs were setup in an outdoor bottomless enclosure. Placed in a grassy area they loved it. I decided to let Onyx free roam he is super chill and not very fast. I originally was worried about Koby interacting with Onyx but they didnt bother each other at all. Enjoy the photo dump of our day. I did get a lot of video footage, but Facebook won't allow pages to post videos alongside pics. That just means that there will be a snake filled reel soon.

A little video from last night's outdoor excursion. Sound left unedited so you can hear them crunching on plants.
