Microaquarium Details

     To begin setting up the microaquarium, I began with the actual microaquarium with the stand and cover and added into it the water from the water pool below the spring at Lynnhurst Cemetery. This cemetery is located off of Adair Drive in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is a spring fed pond with partial shade at N36 01.357 W83 55.731 958 ft on 10/09/2011. Then I added plants to it. These plants were Fontinalis sp. Moss. collected from the Holston River along John Sevier Highway under the I 40 Bridge. This area has partial shade exposure at N36 00.527 W83 49.549 823 ft on 10/13/2013. The second plant added was Utricularia gibba L. Flowering plant. A carnivous plant. The original material is from the south shore of Spain Lake( N 35o55 12.35" W088o20' 47.00) Camp Bella Air Road East of Sparta, Tn. in White County and grown in water tanks outside of the greenhouse at Hesler Biology Building.
