Concerning Sharks: Black Tip Congregation

4:50 PM
I couldn't see any sharks, other than the Black Tips, when I went to check up on them. They all seemed to congregating at the far end of the pool. Not sure what they were doing, but kind of interesting, so here's the screenshots.

And the tank is still demurkified, so that's good.

 All the greyish blimps towards the far end are blacktips.


Where did Solomon go?

Concerning Belugas: Circuiting- Negative (11:20 AM Vancouver time)

No circuiting to be seen. I'm afraid posts in this segment are getting increasing shorter. If you'd like to read more of my rambling about this series, I'd advise you to reread my earlier ones. Because, I'm quite literally just trying to record whether or not Nemo is circuiting. So to disappoint- if I have.





Concerning Sharks: The vacuum was brought back, I'm assuming.

The tank is demurkified! Not a word... really not a word...
Anyway, just to clarify, the tank was actually 'demurkified' within 24 hours, I just spread my posts out. So don't worry, the aquarium solved the issue in much less than 3-4 days. It was probably less than 24 hours... Also the sharks didn't seem disturbed by the murk. Maybe, the murk was an intentional murk. To be honest, I have no idea what it was or why it happened. I just wanted to report that I can now see the screen again! Which is good news.
Vision has returned!

Concerning Sharks: Training I presume...

The divers have returned. Yielding this weird tool (see screen shots below). I can only assume that this is some sort of training exercise, that may train sharks not to harm the divers: although, I can't be certain.

I think there's a white tip near the bottom of the tank, next to the diver.
See the end of the stick like object, its shape leads me to believe that this is a training tool.

Concerning Sharks: Wow... bring the vacuum back...

Well, the mysterious vacuum staff from a few days ago, may not be so mysterious after all... And I think they need to come back... Actually they may be back. I'm probably not making much sense. Bring on the screenshots!

This is what greeted me today....
Not sure what happened.
The water has gotten a little murky to put it lightly...
The sharks don't seem to mind it though. I guess the ocean isn't always clear either.

 If you look out into the murk, I think I see the blue tube again. So I'm assuming the aquarium is trying to do something about this murk.


 I don't believe I've seen this shark before. I'm not even sure if it's a shark...


The black tips come speeding around the corner. I've got to say, these are most certainly my favorite shark.

Black tip shark congregation! The best kind of congregation.

 Is it actually getting murkier?
 Yup, most certainly murkier.


 Why is the water so murky?!?!?

 Solomon is creeping up.

 Hello Solomon. How's life?


 I'll try to check up later, to see if this murky water has cleared up. Solomon is slightly in the back, if you're interested.
