... 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...
... Hard to know... s/he posted the same msg last October, check it out: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/homemadebiospheres/message/72 (and I think #73 was my...
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...
From: "pythangoras" <sendjunkmailhere@...> ... First step... read any backlog messages in this group. Start with and keep a large sustainable "open"...
Ok, I have just uploaded an update of my website. So take a look if you want to: http://www.euronet.nl/users/rkohm/biosphere/ The fresh water alga/crustaceans...
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...
In my experiments, Sea Monkies can live at just about any salinity, but I only get them to breed at 1/3 to 1/2 of ocean salinity. Re: the "Sea Monkey Food" -...
Hi: I just found out about this list and have been thinking about making my own little biosphere. I read all the posts and I think that one of the problems is...
I wrote a post a while ago making the point that much of the conventional wisdom of aquarist is not applicable to biospheres. Aquariums are high nutrient, high...
A while ago I reported that one out of 7 or 8 attempts to grow algae from a Sea Monkey kit had failed. That was maybe six months ago.. I've kept the bottle,...
Well now, you have to ask the next question; will the shrimp (sea- monkeys) eat the living organisms? Also; aren't sea-mokeys brine shrimp where as the...
Ok...so I tracked down the name of the shrimp that they use...it's Halocaridina Rubra or...as they call them in Hawaii (which is where they're from...):...
My 7 year old daughter would like to make a biosphere for her science fair project this month. I've been trying to remember how I did it in school 30 yrs ago...
Hi Steve, While I don't know enough about biospheres to offer you advice on making a "good" one, I do have a suggestion or two. If this is for a science fair,...
