Population Explodes in Baby Tank - Rotifers Day 28

Rotifers Day 28 — The Baby Tank Surprise We slept in. The epsom salt culture did not care. Day 28 starts with a check on the burgeoning epsom jar — still going strong despite the delay. We split it into the Big Kahuna 16 litre vessel and water it down, officially the biggest single culture expansion of the month. Then a mediocre check on the cloudy bacteria water experiment. Not a failure, not a success. Just middling results from a risky move. Fair enough. Then we check the baby tank for protein buildup. The baby tank is teeming with rotifers. Not hundreds. Not thousands. Uncountable thousands — a population explosion that nobody planned for and nobody can fully explain. The culture we deployed to clean up the bacterial bloom didn't just survive in there. It thrived. Month 1 ends not with the cultures we planned but with more rotifers than we started the day expecting. That counts as a win.
