Well today our aquarium chamber water is very brown. Our water is darker than the water in other groups columns. I think the reason may be because we have organic material that is in the middle of the decomposition process and the products are dissolving in the water that we add. This water eventually makes it to the aquarium chamber. Also, I think we've added more water than some of the other groups. My first thought was that something is wrong with ours since it is different from the others, but on second thought maybe its just different. The waterway behind my house is dark brown almost black at certain times of the year. Maybe this is the same. The decomposition chamber is the most exciting chamber. There is just so much activity! The beetles are still on the banana. A tiny slug has appeared. The plum is still decomposing. I wonder how long it takes for a plum to disappear? No fruit flies yet! the lizard is patiently awaiting some fruit flies, as is the frog. Hopefully we'll have some tomorrow.
