Working into the night

Still working.  Here is a photo of Doug drilling holes in the mounting plates.



The next two are especially for Fio Micheli since she said she needed more photos of the actual settlement plates.  Here is one of the specially made plate that simulates the divots made by parrot fish in the coral substrate.



Here is what the settlement plate looks like after it has been mounted and caged. Half the plates we put down will be caged like this and the other half will be left uncaged.

  1. they are beautiful! the parrotfishes will love them :) thank you Joe. So sorry about the drill! I hope Doug can fix it, or that there is something else you can use. What a beginning!

    1. Thanks. I think they look great. Now if we can just get them attached to the bottom. No luck fixing the drill so far. Today we are going to go out and hammer by hand and hope the drill can be fixed by tomorrow.
