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,...
Hi, My name is David and I just started my first attempt using water from a local pond. I am using a 500ml water bottle with about 80 ml of space at the top...

I'm setup a few freshwater biosphere...however, the foodchain has a missing link. I have freshwater plants, algae and fishes. Can anyone suggest what is...

Generally no, a fish small enough for a biosphere won't eat snails. The commercially available biospheres don't have fish because they're not suitable for long...
I brought three bottles of sea water. - One is sea water and a small piece of broken algae. - Ine is mostly broken shell pieces ans sand from near shore with ...
Hey, You may remember a while back I made a post about starting my first biosphere from some pondwater in a 500ml bottle. I had initially mentioned some small...
Clams ay? Neat! Though I wonder how much they consume... Perhaps the algae in that one will produce more than enough spores to feed them. Maybe 1 or 2 brine...
Hello all! I got the idea to make my own ecosphere because I'm cheap, and i figured it would be more interesting. Anyhoo, I've got a big jar, and that's where...
I found this site regarding some capsules sent into space containing, most notably, vertebrates... Hopefully somebody here has the funds to use it to there...
This group has been going for a couple of years now... what is your personal record for a biosphere with animals? Mine is 8 months - has anyone broken a year? ...
I have one which I started in December 2001, but I opened it for the last time in March 2002. Since then it has been closed and it keeps on surviving. Even...
Well.... My Biosphere is all but dead after about 4 months. I think I should have aerated it more often, as I believe that a lack of oxygen was the major ...
... Well.. lets see... I have one that has been closed since Pre July 1998. It doesn't have much in it... tiny little black things (not daphnia or cyclops), a...
... hmmm... i think it was actually: WW-14-1011 Kit (NO LONGER AVAILABLE ) and it's refill WW-14-1013, which does seem to be available. the refill might be...

Besides what Phillip said, I would consider a few things necessary. First, read up on water chemistry, nitrogen cycles, and other important fields, as well as...
I disagree. I would take any advice from an aquaria site such as the krib with a grain of salt- the goals of aquaria and biospheres are fundamentally different...
Success is in the eyes of the beholder. If you shoot for the moon (or maybe the Earth is a better goal being that the moon is pretty baron of life) then you...
