Tank Room

Minimal Expectations

***SUPER IMPORTANT*** The room should stay around 60°F all year round with the AC running.

If you detect that the temp is higher than that (if it feels hot or if the thermostat reads a higher temp), contact the current Lab Manager.
The AC does break sometimes even though it's newer. This affects the tanks' cooling mechanisms, and then the crabs get boiled to death. oof.

Please clean up after yourself if you spill anything or generate trash.

Be sure to enter the appropriate information into the log on each tank as this helps us keep track of the number of crabs in each tank as well as the status of the tank.

If you would like to be a little extra helpful:

- - If you find dead crab(s) in any tank, remove and dispose of them in the carcass freezer. Also, make sure to make a note on the tank's log.
  - If the carcass freezer is almost full, you can let the current Lab Manager/any of the undergraduates know and they will take care of it.
  - If the number of crabs in the tank room seems rather low (less than 10), be sure to let the current Lab Manager know so that they can order more crabs.
  - Use warm water to wipe down the sink counter to prevent salt buildup.
