Any dead fish can flow down the river but it takes a live one to swim back up stream.

Journal contd....
Apart from salinity, pH and simulating tide, the other challenge was to maintain high humidity. Sundarbans has humidity ranges from 70% to 95% mostly. the minimum humidity is 70%.
The humidity outdoors in Gurgaon is less than 50%

To ensure that the humidity inside the tank is 70%+ I cover the tank with 'Green house covering net' (http://www.ebay.in/itm/301186961022?ssP ... 1497.l2649)

This gives me close to what I desire

Many of you wanted a FTS. The FTS quality won't be good because of ambient light (verandah) But here they are....
First the shots during high tide...

The difference between high and low tide is 6 inches and 200 litres....
here are some low tide pics

The tank is very close to nature.
