• Today the group really focused on the design of the aquarium. 

• We looked at Lizzie's design. Her design mainly involved layering the fish tank with plants.
• 
  
•  
• There would be tall plants then medium then small plants. 

• We also thought of designing our aquarium that goes with our group name, "State of the Tank".

•  We were going to have the background as the White House and on the sides there would be our plants. In the middle it would be bear so you could see the White House and our fish were going to be red, white, and blue. Mr. DeWitt suggested we just have a white background so that way the focus is the aquarium itself and not the White House. 

• Some were for the change to the White House design and some were not. We decided that we would stick with Lizzie's original idea for now until we could redesign the aquarium.

• Next each group got to bid on which plant they would like from Mr. DeWitt's gallery of plants. 
• We picked out many plants, but do not plan on using all of the plants. 

• Dean was able to bring his idea of the CO2 injector and hooked up the CO2 injector to the aquarium.

  THis is our tank that we are going to use!
