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...

... A few do... ... well... that might work, but you should find out if your existing sphere is fresh or salt water. A good place to collect specific species...
... yep... kinda annoying... a trick i use it to have two browsers open. one is my "message" window, the other is the "header" window. I click (and hold) on a...
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...

There are various sites online to order daphnia, as well as other organisms. Google should serve you well. As for "sea monkeys", did you ask for brine shrimp...
i just got some sea monkies, and nothing is happening in their tank? i put the water purifier in, waited 24 hours, then put the eggs in. that was about 5 hours...
... lol, calm thyself. it can take several days for hatching to occur, or at least for the babies to become larger than this period right here --->. keep your...
hey guys, just curious...how long do eggs last? cuz i found a vial of brine shrimp eggs in an old microscope kit...i'm guessing they won't work...but i ...
Actually, according to what I've read, they might still be alive in there!!! Sea monkeys are extremely hardy and tenacious creatures... They have something ...
