The Aquatic Ecosystem in 2021

It's winter, 2021. This is the fourth winter in the aquatic ecosystem for the fish at Mezzacello. If you're not familiar, start with this nightmare or this, or this. I have busted my gluteal muscles trying to learn what Mother Nature needs to create a #Sustainable aquatic ecosystem and make it manageable for a 21st Century life style. It has been a rewarding journey. So much #Physics #Biology #Chemistry #Ecology #Hydrodynamics #Stats #Mathematics #Topology #Geometry and #Legal issues. All of this. From having the police called on me for digging a six foot grave, to mastering hydrology and pump technology and #Backup Systems to the magic of getting handwritten poems in the fence written by neighborhood kids. This particular ecosystem at Mezzacello has been a wonderful journey. Recently I went out and looked into the clear 1.7m abyss at the perfectly content fish I was reminded of the Haiku that one of my summer camp kids wrote to me on 2018:[media-credit id=3 align="alignnone" width="960"]

Sky of clear waterDug deep down into the groundWarm in winter, sound

That's the aquatic ecosystem in a nutshell.
