Re: Diatoms
I don't know what's for dinner, but there's a lot of strange stuff on that plate.

Re: Diatoms
It's eerie that these microorganisms have such incredible order to their shapes...

Re: Diatoms
I haven't actually READ Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, but I'm pretty sure that's not what he said...

Re: Diatoms
Yes, it came from a VERY STINKY turtle tank that gets a lot of light and a lot of poop. I siphoned/harvested the water in a bucket and decanted most of it out of the bucket into the aquarium tank. I have 2 of those gallon jugs because I want to seed a culture tank and do a few other experiments. The water in the light is a beautiful green. The pictures DO NOT do it justice.
