Our Portsmouth touch tank is having trouble - the pump that brings the chilled, filtered water back up to the animals is broken. So we filled the tank with bags of ice to keep the water cool, and we sent some of our more sensitive animals - including our fish, sea stars and urchins - to our touch tank in Salisbury, Mass., for the night. We closed a bit early today, with the hopes that we could block out the sun and give the crabs, periwinkles and lobster a rest. The tank is scheduled to be serviced tomorrow morning, so hopefully the tank will be up and running again by 11 when we open!
I'd like to thank the volunteers on staff today, Paulette, Scott, Dan and Alyssia, who did everything they could to keep the animals healthy and inform visitors about the situation. And thanks so much to our visitors for understanding!
Check in tomorrow to find out where things stand. We'll also be posting updated information on our Facebook site - make sure to become a fan! The link to the site is on our menu on the right side of this page.
