Water source that I used to set up was Water pool below spring. Lynnhurst Cemetery off of Adair Drive. Knox Co. Knoxville TN. Partial shade exposure Spring Feed Pond N36 01.357 W83 55.731 958 ft 10/12/2014, was the water pool below spring, Lynnhurst Cemetery. Organisms I observed in week 1. I observed a dark single cell organism that was a shape of a circle by a stem. It was spinning in circles, maybe eating? Another organism I saw had a cone or trumpet shape body. It was darting into the soil. Another dark single cell organism by the surface of the soil. Two dark brown circular cell organisms coming out of the soil. A cell that looked like the head of a trumpet with bunch of filters at the widest part of the body, then it darted into the soil.

After I had assembled my micro aquarium and picked my water source. I got a pipet and extracted water and soil from the very bottom. Then I extracted water and soil that had settled onto of the leaves in the tank. The third area i got water from was the very top water in the tank. Next I added two plants to the micro aquarium. Plant 1) Amblestegium varium (Hedwig) Lindberg. Moss.
