My microaquarium was born October 14 2009. The water and sediments used for my microaquarium came from Tommy Schumpert Pond, Seven Islands Wildlife refuge. Located on Kelly Lane Koxville, Tn. The pond has partial shade exposure and sheet runoff around a sink hole. I will be making observations every week, for the next four weeks and writing what I see in a series of blogs.

When looking at my microaquarium under the microscope, I noticed many micro-lifeforms within it. There were larger ones that stayed near the bottom near the sediments and plants. There were also tiny worm like creatures that stayed in the middle and top areas of the microaquarium. I did not have a chance to identify the organisms this week during my observation. But hopefully I will begin to in as my observations continue over the next 4 weeks.
