Week 3

I personally have not seen any changes in our eco column, so I come to the conclusion that as off right now the eco column is supporting itself. For one, water is being introduce on the walls of the column thanks to the warmth and the humidity inside the column against the colder air on the outside. I believe that the eco column is watering itself without our aiding in watering it because of the deferences between the inside and the outside walls of the column. Our plants seems to be very healthy because there are a lot of new root forming underneath the soil in search for a source of water. In our decomposing section of the column, I have no idea what is going on aside from our fungus is still alive. As for the aqua section, it is currently supporting itself alongside with two fish. The body of other fishes that died in this section in the first few days of the column seems to have vanish. I believe that the body decayed to the extant that it looks like the soil at the bottom. Although they died, their death was not meaningless because thier little bodies actually provides nutrients for the plants so that the plants are able to sustain its energy and provide oxygen for the two fishes.
