Fauna is all of the animal life of any particular region or time. The corresponding term for plants is flora. Flora, fauna and other forms of life such as fungi are collectively referred to as biota.

Fauna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

as refering to the brown slime in his 55gal barrel

I think the statement was.. " the brown slime is called biota" and then something something like its just all the benifical organisims in your hydroponic system.

[Microbiota (disambiguation)|Microbiota]]
Microbiota (as a plural noun) also refers to microflora and microfauna in an ecosystem.

In essence what I was refering to was 1. the microfauna of his nutrient tank ie. all organisms in given area:= his nutient reservoir.

If you like i can revise my statment and change it to Microbiota.
But we can also just agree that we disagree.

Also in some of my mycology projects I have discovered some contamination (Trichoderma harzianum) which I have isolated in a petri dish. IF you would like me to culture a few dishes for you it would be no problem or i can tell you how to culture it yourself, Trichoderma H. is quite easy to culture.
