today was my second microscopic observation of my micro aquarium.  Unlike the first observation, there were several more microorganisms clearly visible under the 100x lens, as i anticipated.  most notably, the majority of the organisms were observed at or near the silt layer at the bottom of my tank.  of these organisms, several i was able to identify including, parameciums, nematodes, desmids, euglenoids, a rotifer, a couple epistylish, and some actinosphaerium.
