When I woke up this morning and went out to the salt water tanks where we had some algae set up, the hose was not in the tank and there was no running water. I had to hurry to fill up another tank to use to make sure the algae was ok. Tom and I then headed out to the fore reef again with Russ and Sally to go do more invertebrate surveys and check up on the algae we deployed yesterday. Tom saw some signs that fish had been eating the algae so we brought it back up to the surface to take back to Gump. We then spent the rest of the time mucking around doing invertebrate surveys. Saw another stone fish today in one of the invertebrate plots which makes me wonder if I just hadn't noticed them before. We got more pastries and cookies from Russ and kept on our work and then went back to the station. I spent the rest of the day setting up for the removal of tiles tomorrow from cages on the fore reef and didn't get done with work until around 6. We made some breakfast for dinner tonight and after that, Erica and I continued to plan out trip to New Zealand. It's getting late so I better go to sleep. Until later.
