38 degrees!
When I arrived at school on Wednesday, we immediately noticed that the chiller coil was encased in ice, water temperature was 38 degrees F, and the fish were very lethargic. After a quick call to Mr. Dinkle, one of our PvFF volunteers, we turned off the chiller, removed the coil, and waited for tank tmperature to return to 52 degrees. After 9 hours. the tank temperature returned to normal and the fish seem fine. One fish died, but the rest seem to have come through with no problems. They are swimming and feeding as usual.
