Hi everybody, I'm starting a new ecosystem, and I'd like some feedback on the setup I'm working on, tips and previous experiences with making artificial ...
This is a kinda quiet forum. Trouble is that advice is a little thin regarding this topic, unlike other forums with topics where there are lots of experts. ...
agreed. and i had to trash all but 2 of my spheres, neither of which i pay any attention to these days due to work. they're alive though, sealed, and ...
Not only the advice is thin, there are not too many experts in the field of sustainable biological systems out there (let alone closed sustainable systems),...
funny, cuz i don't remember you being one of them. since none of us are getting paid to do it, maybe some of us have jobs that are keeping us from the forum?...

if you're an average guy, you might have a bit of a mess in your room (or not, i'm just guessing). why not hide it amongst other things? i've done aquatics...
I searched the forum, but the main results I got went something like "go to a stream and put some water in a jar." I can't do that, though. I also couldn't...
Okay, I have a couple basic questions. I found this group when searching for one of those expensive sealed ecospheres and was intrigued with the idea that...
i answered this already, but if you want another answer, go for it. it doesnt sound like it wouldn't together. also, the search function in yahoogroups blows....
pickle jars are nice, especially the deli ones. they're like 5 gallons of clear open space. river water works i believe, but sealing it after 2 days? it's...
Read the Make Magazine article for the most informative way to start. It is available at www.makezine.com. Sorry but I don't have the direct link. Also,...
Hi, From what I've gathered, sealing it a day or two later isn't bad, but we'll just have to wait and see. Many people try this dozens of times before they...
Hi everyone, I did not mean to criticize anybody when I started this thread. I just noticed that nothing has actually been replied to in a month... Sorry if I...
Thanks for your reply. I love this project! I think I'll try more than one (why waste a trip to the pond?) in different sizes and see what I get. I have a...

I read the makezine article, but it also lists as one of the steps "go to a pond and get amphipods, copepods, yada yada yada...". I don't have one nearby, but...
Also, has anybody tried putting activated charcoal in one? It is used in water filtration systems, and might be able to remove toxins that build up in there......
I put 1 male guppy and an anubius nana plant in a 1.6L jar. I picked one of my uglier(i have hundreds) guppies and took water from the tank he was in. I left...

seconded. i had bloodworms living in about an inch of sand at the bottom of the bottle that my guppies would pick at whenever they were hungry. if you can...
