The start of something new

On October 16, 2012 I started my micro aquarium.  The water sample I chose was the water from Spring Creek off Woodson Dr runing throught Dean's Woods Road frontage., Knox Co. Tennessee. Partial shade exposure. Tennessee River water Shed N35 55.274 W083 56.888 848 ft 10/9/2011 Fissidens fontanus moss in stream.  Then I used 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, as my plant in the aquarium (Botany 111 fall 2012).  So far there has not been much activity in my aquarium. however I have found what I believe to be a Seed shrimp and a cyclops.  both of these were seen down in the mud at the bottom of the tank.  hopefully as the weeks go by more activity will spring forth.
