Last year when we went to FL (Fort Meyers area), I filled a couple 2L soda bottles with salt water and "bottom stuff". B1-As some may recall, one bottle from...
Hello All, I'm pondering the feasibility of getting some macroalgae growing inside of a biosphere. Traditional algae is usually the hair, or the slime, or...
... [...] ... you contradict yourself! plants respire as well.. it's only during photosynthesis that they "consume CO2 and produce O2" in the absense of light,...
Yeah guys, sorry bout that. It was definitely one of my blonder moments. On the bright side, I love new experiences, and feeling a desire to sink into my...
lol, we're not being brutal, just a kind reminder :) ... From: "Dash Gott" <dash4froggupz@...> To: <homemadebiospheres@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday,...
Since my miss-hap with my last vial of brine shrimp. What is the best way to keep an opened vial of pet-store bought eggs to promote the best hatching? I...
You are correct but algae is a net consumer of CO2 (specifically the C) if it is growing. Thus what I should have said was "additional CO2 producers". Not to...
... The stores keep air-tight containers at room temperature. I have a rather large can in the freezer (for 7+ years) that continue to put out a hatch. I...
My concern is an opened contanter. I'm sure the store containers are more air tight than once opened. I just want to know which would probably be better....
Any one intersted in helping create a FAQ for this group? Seems to be a great bit of consfusion with newbies, things like mixing salt and fresh and where to...
The FAQ is a good idea. We should start by everybody asking the questions they would have wanted answered originally. I'm out, though; I tend to come across...
I'm always in favor of FAQs... The problem is, this is *such* a complicated subject. A good start is to perhaps start with some definitions: Biosphere Open...
Sounds like a good start. I just wanted to have something that could get people up to speed quickly, it doesn't have to cover everything. What you listed seems...
AFAIK 'Fairy Shrimp' includes quite a few species of creatures. For simplicities sake, I am assuming you are referring to a species of brine shrimp. You can...
... hmmm... i've never heard brine shrimp referred to as fairy shrimp. I think most folks think of the freshwater Eubranchipus [...] and Branchinecta lynchi. ...
i am fairly new to the group and was wondering if somebody could help me with a few questions about triops ive tried to find information on them and there isnt...
... i ... Although I have seen Triops at some toy stores (KB Toys sometimes has them with their 'smithsonian' product line). The only reliable source I've...
I should have specified; I'm referring, actually, to the freshwater ones. I believe they are family Branchinectidae as oposed to Artemidae; I could be ...
my posts are either really delayed or not getting through...i'm pretty sure fairy shrimp are the freshwater brethren of brine shrimp...at least i've never...
I would have to say I use them in my experiments because of the long lifespan. Halocaridina rubra have lifespans in excess of 10+ years as opposed to brine...
do you have a log or site or something about your experiments? i dunno if you posted them and i missed it or something. personally i've yet to come up with a...
whee, catching up on old posts isn't fun...so much to catch up on... first thing's first - brine shrimp = salt shrimp = no freshwater. the word brine should...
Sorry don't have a site/blog up, have been experimenting with marine and live rock closed ecosystems for a couple years now. I am trying to get something up...
fairy shrimp are the freshwater relatives of brine shrimp. i've never heard of any other creature being called that except for what i'm thinking of. and god,...
... Side note... i never go by phil... philip or flip are fine... ;) Well... i ended up getting about 200 of them for $90. (this included two snails, 1 empty...
me, but i think it should be an on-list development. of course there's a few things that are common knowledge, and some of us know more about some things than...
