In lab on October 12, 2011, we set up our own MicroAquariums. Each of us took samples from freshwater sources found throughout east Tennessee. We took samples from the bottom layer, middle layer, and top layer of the water source we chose and added two different plants to the MicroAquariums. Both of which are listed below. Upon completion, we observed our MicroAquariums for the first time before capping them off and storing them.
There was nothing substantial or worth mentioning about the first inspection after we set up the aquariums.
My water source came from:
Pond at Sterchi Hills Greenway Trail.
