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...

... Go to a pet store, they'll have something that is basically dehydrated salt water... the brand I have is "Instant Ocean". I've had the best luck with 1/3 -...
OK - here's my best shot at step-by-step instructions: 1) Buy a Sea Monkey kit, some dehydrated ocean water, and a 2L bottle of soda (drink the soda - we-re...
It is important to understand the evolutionary forces put into play in an enclosed "world". If we have learned one thing from Darwin and Lamark it is that ...
humoring his statement, i think it'd be pretty damn cool if we could improve the sea monkey in some considerable way that would warrant mention (ie: colony...

A very serious problem indeed. I was a student at Caltech in the late 70s. Now, as you know, Caltech scientists had been breeding fruit flies (Drosophila ...
I'm a highschool student, and in my bio class we are going to be making biospheres and I was wondering if anyone has any sugestions that would help out my...

Hi all, I have recently got a new glass bottle with a volume of 5 litres, and I am trying to decide what to do with it. Venere_in_fiamme, how's your snails...
Hello everyone, I'm new to this group, but I thought I'd ask this question, since through my perusing of the biospheres in the past, I never found the answer...
Ok, I feel silly replying to my own message, but apparently on the eco-sphere website, Carl Sagan mentions that Joe Hanson at NASA JPL worked on the eco-sphere...
So has anyone tried to set up a self-sustaining sea monkey colony? If I were to try to build a biosphere, that's where I'd start I think. If you follow the...
Because the decay caused by the bacteria uses up oxygen and produce toxins. I don't know if people here have had much look with sea monkeys but I would think...
The algae in sea monkey food is processed and dehydrated- I don't know if you can get any living cells growing from it. Bacteria decompose all the poop and...
