OK, I'm starting the latest.<br><br>It is in one of those large juice containers (128 oz?). I left ~20% of the volume as air, and I have it filled with water...
i've been planning to start my paludarium soon, but it seems the free tank i'll be getting won't be big enough for it. i'm trying to think of a setup that can...
i know it's probably off-topic and all, but zerkodude mentioned something about fish in biospheres being a bad idea unless there was enough of an air gap or...
Well my biosphere.. strange but true is actually still alive.. i didnt use any kits though, and the algae im using is not that green slime at the bottom you're...
I'm curious about your plan to change the salinity of the water after the algae takes hold. I would think a sudden and dramatic change to the salinity would...
5 liters - wow, that's big.<br><br>The snail reproduction is interesting. I would think that if you left the lid on, the snails and the algae would reach some ...
Where did you get these snails, venere? They sound really interesting! And what is their (scientific) name?<br><br>And I agree with Dave that you should try to...
Well, my jar is capped, i let it open for the first 2 weeks and then i closed it, sealing it with the air tight lid :) <br>Yes, snails are hermaphrodite, so i...
Venere,<br>You GOTTA get us some pictures of this sphere! Also, does anyone have similar containers that they use? Or have you guys found anything similar at...
yes- please post photos of your biosphere - sounds very promising. I started my first one 4 wks ago with a bunch of goo from a local stream bed. I put it on...
>> [how the heck does a snail reproduce, anyway... are they hermaphrodites? I forget!]<br><br>Most of the snails I'm familiar with are hermaphrodites ...
Wow, the pace really picked up since the last time I visited!<br>I learned from your experience that even if we put in a single snail, it was probably "hanging...
If I'm not mistaken, someone asked about snail-eating fish - look up Botias; I used to have two Botia Modesta specimens that ate most snails in my aquarium, ...

Hi there.. i had some time this week to do a little research, and i found out what snails i put into my jar :) <br>The first ones .. the little black ones i...
The new Sea Monkies are doing well... though I want to wait for them to get a bit bigger before I pour them into the big jar and close the lid. I now think...
OK, I got impatient and started it today.<br><br>There's 6 or 7 little ones in there. I gave 'em a final light dose of "sea monkey growth food" - algae - and ...
Upon further review.... the 128oz juice bottle I'm using is poor - It is too difficult to see in due to all the curves and scallops in the plastic. (and you're...
I have just updated my website with pictures and text about my two still running biospheres. If you're interested: http://www.euronet.nl/users/rkohm/biosphere/...
I have started a new round of Daphnia magna/Schenedesmus quatricauda bioshpere experiments with my class. Technically they don't belong here because they are...
... Unfortunately? ;-) Do you want them flying around your house? ... It could be that or maybe not enough sunlight that is a common problem, even direct sun...
The only exchange from the outside is gas through the small hole in the top. Technically we are removing some of the nutrients each week when we sample the...
Hi Corvidae, thanks for your comments! ... all ... When I got the plants from the pond they were attached to the ground, but I did see that they had roots...
Hey Steve - welcome back! Update on my experiments: Your note on bacteria is interesting... and goes a long ways toward explaining why sometimes things work...
