Rymel.... Do you know what your getting in your phytoplankton mixes? You wouldn't happen to have a medical microscope around would you? I ask because I think...
it's on the DT's website. Nannochloropsis, 2 types and some other type. i'm pretty sure that's all that's in it. there's 3 types of microalgae in there to...
I think you misunderstood, or I didn't make myself clear. I didn't mean to suggest you were doing the wrong thing by adding the phytoplankton mix, nor that it...
my misunderstanding isn't where the phyoplankton addition is, it's what you mean by my systems collapsing...i haven't had a loss yet aside from the 1 gallon...
i thought about using tetraselmis, but the salinity requirements were different from artemia. at least on this one website it was. correct me if i'm wrong....

I know it is a little off topic ... sorta ... Check out this link: http://www.beachworld.co.uk/new.htm What is the gel made of? Is there a recipe for it? ...
Could this be the answer? Form:http://www.rohmhaas.com/company/plabs.dir/htmldocs/germinateseeds.html "The following experiments with plants can be used...
yup... that would have been my guess. and the ant one is likely just gelatin. (i doubt sugar would be added unless a fairly strong preservative was added as...

The Fukobonsai site is pretty indepth. You can get the teaching kit which is larger than the regular 1/2 gallon or if you write them and you want to use your...
After reading the experimenter guide using gelatin, they place VERY HEAVY emphasis on keeping things sterile. Does this apply to homemade biospheres? All the...
The problem being that most of the critters etc that would be required to make a complete sphere would be so small as to be practiably invisible. I imagine a...
Years ago I tried a sorta-closed earth based "biocube". Since it wasn't totally closed it eventually dried out. I tried a closed one and had troubles with...
BTW ... if you are interested in sharing your biosphere knowledge, Cub Scout leaders are ALWAYS looking for something interesting for their scouts. They...
