Setting Up My MicroAquarium

For the project we each set-up a MicroAquarium.  We had 13 different water samples to choose from.  Once we chose, we extracted water and sediment from our sample and added it to our MicroAquarium.  For my sample I am going to be observing sample 3: Carter Mill Park at spring source (information following).  Once we added the water to our sample, we added a small amount of Fontinalis (Moss) and Utricularia gibba (flowering plant).  These plants will provide oxygen, nutrients, and shelter for the organisms to grow inside the MicroAquarium.  We will observe the MicroAquariums we have put together over the next four weeks and see what organisms grow.
