MicroAquarium Setup

This last week we discussed, set up and reviewed our MicroAquariums. The process was undoubtedly interesting and entirely painless. We were given a small glass container and multiple selections of water from various sources around the surrounding area. Dr. Ken McFarland thoroughly explained the necessary procedures to us and then proceeded to keep a watchful eye on our progress. Once our MicroAquariums had been completed, we reviewed the process of examining and recording our progress. We also included two types of plants. My water source was: Carter Mill Park at spring source, Carter Mill Road, Knox Co. Tennessee Partial shade exposure N36 01.168 W83 42.832 940 ft 10/10/2010
