Algal Balls
Good Afternoon Has anyone made these recently? If so what are your thoughts? Is it better just to buy them? They are about $60 for 60 balls. Thanks

Good Afternoon
Does anyone know where to purchase rockets and additional equipment required ? I remember years ago there was a supplier at the SLAMN Conference but I can not locate the details.

Re: data loggers
I have been at two schools and both have purchased Pascoe probes. We gradually add to the quantities as we can. We started with 1 or 2 of various probes. Ciderhouse is very helpful in getting you started.

Re: Inventory of equipment
Still a spread sheet here too, but would love a technology advancement .
As for borrowing we require a Risk Assessment to be completed to use our equipment. I am only 2 days a week. So far a risk assessment has been done on most cases.
Merry Christmas as tomorrow is my last day for the year!

Good Morning
I was wondering if any schools use gas chromatography and if so what do you use it for? Do you think it is a worth while investment?
Thank you.
