    Well today in my Oceanography class, my professor brought in a sample of water he collected with a small plankton net set up behind his house. Here in Florida an Inter coastal waterway runs through my town and it is all salt. We examined it under a micro scope and I saw Tons of copapods!!! Many various shrimp, and larvae of many species of crab, worms, etc. Also saw some diatoms of many shapes. their life cycle is pretty amazing, do some reading on it! Thought that this was appropriate to share. im going to take some of the sea water next time i goto the beach.

    Any who im thinking about getting a small sample of his collection and putting it in the tank. I mean i saw what was in it under a microscope so i know what was in it. ;D and i liked what i saw!
