Above is the water source that I chose to use for my microaquarium. To do the initial setup I used a pipet to extract water from the lower level (as well as soil), the mid level, and top level of the water sample. I then inserted these in their respective positions into the microaquarium. At this point, two different plants were added to the aquarium. They were:
Plant A . 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
Plant B. Utricularia gibba L. Flowering plant. A carnivous 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.
It is yet to be seen what life will sprout forth from these humble origins...
