And then there was life.

So, it's been one week since the beginning of our project. When the aquarium was first established the population of the tank ranged from few to none. On October 22, 2010, I checked on the aquarium again and found that the population of the tank had grown exponentially. The organisms that I found to be in the tank on the day I inspected it were, several species of protozoa, 3 snails, several amoebas, 2 shelled amoebas, diatoms, euglenoids, and 4 crustacea (cyclops).
