e) First Day- Overall great water quality and the habitiat is completely new and clean. Everything needs to kick in and start growing and really turn into a mini ecosystem
Last Day- The water has turned to a yellowish green and there is definitely a lot more algae, but the ecosystem is still functioning and our second snail is still alive
