Setting up
My microaquarium is now setup. The aquarium its self is composed of 2 sheets of glass with silicone adhesive bonding the two panes. The aquarium is the void between the panes and it is 3 mm thick. I gathered my sample water which was from the Carter Mill Park spring which ponds up right after it comes out of the ground, and is partially shaded. I placed two plants into the aquarium. Plant A is Fontinalis 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. 10/10/2010. Plant B is Utricularia gibba L. which is a carnivourus flowering plant. Original material from south shore of Spain Lake (N 35o55 12.35" W088o20' 47.00), Camp Bella Air Rd. East of Sparta Tn. in White Co. and grown in water tanks outside of greenhouse at Hesler Biology Building. The University of Tennessee. Knox Co. Knoxville TN.
