      Neat Stephen, you are SO ready! It is not looking great for me at the moment 6:30pm air temp 52° pond temp 57° Full Moon the 15th got the Barry White queued up, haven't even gone down to the slough to get a bucket of water to start the Daphnia in the stock tank. BTW how long are you leaving the eggs in the Methylene Blue for, I've read from 15mn to 24hr.
