The News:
Cost of Salt Vs. Fresh Aquariums. Peter speaks about a blog post, comparing costs of salt vs. fresh tanks for startup and over time. http://bit.ly/2Bi7urY
City of Kwinana in Australia sets up filter sock like nets on drainage pipes with good success! Collecting around 850lbs of waste in just 4 months working in two locations. No animals were caught in the nets during the trial period. The city plans on expand the trial adding three new locations. This method is looking to be the preferred method for the city since the cost is significantly lower than other options and a high rate of success. http://bit.ly/2Q6vo1W
