I set up my micro aquarium by filling it with water from the bottom 1/3, middle 1/3 and top 1/3 of my sample. The sample that I used came from the Holston River. The sample was taken by Dr. Ken Mcfarland and was obtained here: Holston River along John Sevier Hwy under I 40 Bridge Partial shade exposure Holston River water Shed N36 00.527 W83 49.549 823 ft 10/9/2011.
My color code was dark blue, light blue and dark blue.
My initial observation found living organisms at the bottom of the aquarium. These were mostly in the "mud."
These organisms will be identified and followed over the next four weeks.
The two plants added to the MicroAquarium were: Amblestegium sp. Moss. Collection from: Natural spring. at Carters Mill Park, Carter Mill Road, Knox Co. TN. Partial shade exposure. N36 01.168 W83 42.832. 10/9/2011
