Howdy all, Tubs still going, the convict cichlids still appear to be alive, but its hard to see them, since they are dark. Most, if not all of the alleged...
The container I chose is 2 1/2 gallons, almost-clear plastic, tall and round, with a lid that will seal tightly when the time comes. 2 1/2 gallons should be...
Hey, Just as follow up to my last post on my bio bottle. Its doing great. The brine shrimp are bigger, the algea is greener (yet it hasnt taken over the...
the setup sounds pretty good, but that's a LOT of plants, and very little bioload. i'd expect half of that to die, but that's just me. i'm also of the opinion...
the chickenwire part confused me...elaborate? the rest sound pretty good though. my 10g's guppies all died except the female :( the baby bass is doin fine,...
... pretty ... Chickenwire is to make a wire frame 'mesh' that has the basic shape. I saw some guys make a fiberglass volcano out of chickenwire + fiberglass,...
My experience with the plants is that they tend to suck up all their micronutrients fairly quickly. Good idea with the marine salt to add some additional trace...
... i knew what chicken wire was, but i was curious as to why. unless i read it wrong and your paludarium's open air, then it makes perfect sense :p ... he...
... Yeah, open air. Just a fancy stand w/ a built in fancy sump. ... Sweet. Brings to mind a danio. You should remind him that you're going to eat him. Tap on...
I've made terrariums for years, just plants-always air tight. Once a few flies were caught inside(I presume grubs in the dirt), they continued to breed and my...
Algae for brine shrimp. Within very close distance of me are: about 40 pet shops and aquarium places, none of which sell any, or would even let me scrape a...
Hey, Go to a rocky beach or shore. Those rocks should be slimy ass hell. I wanted to do the same a while back but the coral i put in my biobottle started...
First off welcome to the list and I hope you have great success with your spheres. My comments are inline. ... Once ... Sorry to hear that... just my intrest...
Hey, Well, i never thought of the nutritional needs of algea. Lets see, its a single cell organism which goes through photosynthesis. Which means it needs...
I went to the beach looking for it today.... somehow I didnt see any, but the part of the beach I went to had few rocks. I'll go further down tommorow. I...
Why not try both ways, see which one works better. Getting actual sea water is a good idea since its got micro organisms that make oxygen, but it'll probably...
I live REALLY close to the beach, I can be there in under 10 minutes by car and most of that is traffic lights lol :D. Are you sure that is algae? If it is I...
yea i know what your talking about. Im pretty sure its algea cuase there is no way i can find the same garbage in every ocean! lol. Interestingly enough i...
Another question, if I still have your attention ;). I dont wanna have to spend any more money then I have too heh, I need the proper sea salt.... cheapest I...
Hi, welcome to the group! I see you are another saltwater fan... sigh... I guess I am semi-alone with my freshwater trials. :P I live way too far from the...
I'll try two growths with boiled sand/water and see how they work out heh. If it turns out that thing WAS algae then I can significantly advance the time table...
I was thinking of starting a biosphere, was reading thru the posts, and I thought of a fewe things that might be helpful (or may be hurt) a biosphere. I am by...
I cant comment on most of them but about opening and closing it every other day... I am not sure if that is a wise idea, at some point the escaping gas is...
Somewhere in an earlier message I saw a post that pointed out the problem with trying to breed shrimp in an enclosed environment. Basically the problem is Eggs...
... Nope. Although charcoal will suck up bad stuff like a sponge, it'll also suck up the good stuff. On top of this, once the charcoal becomes 'filled', it'll...
That is a pretty good idea... still one problem though. EVENTUALLY all the water will likley end up on the shrimp side. What do you do then? ... (after ... ...
... I've considered doing this (fresh/salt water sphere) a couple ways. The simplest (untested) way would be for the freshwater side to either loose heat...
... Twas mine ;) ... (after ... With a decent pinch of eggs, you can get them to hatch quite often without changing the salinity. Its somewhat random. The...
... I have freshwater, just, not as much ;)... I need some decent, small critters before I could really do a nice one. Which got me tempted on getting one of...
Hello All, I had an idea that could be implemented. If we used PHP or some webpage scripting language, we could have a web based program where we can log...
