Today:
Plants watered; salad machine, nursery, and surface plants all thriving.
Recirculation pump through Peter's gravel experiment was accidentally left on again, depleting Tank 4 (again). We will attempt to put a timer on the pump tomorrow to guard against this mistake. However, as this element is not a crucial part of the system, we may decide to disable it for the duration of our rotation.
Data collection for the new weather station continues; see weather report.
Open Issues:
Nitrate removal; we evaluated Crew 27's assessment and proposed options for this issue (see report of 4/10), and we have decided to add air stone aerators to the anaerobic tanks, Tanks 1 and 3. We will work on this tomorrow, Tuesday.
