Six Months Ago I Filled a Jar with Water, This Happened

About six months ago I created an ecosystem in a jar using water I collected from a ditch in the forest. This ecosphere in an enclosed jar has been sitting on a shelf for half a year, is it still alive?

I love the idea of having your own self-sustaining ecosystem at home 😊

[@DannysAquariums]

It really is!

3:54 This ecosphere is not dead, there are billions of living microorganisms there, it has reached euqualbrium

Great content! The part about the oldest terrarium was pretty cool!

[@nathanhearn8914]

It looks like “the world’s oldest terrarium” possibly has a cork lid. Which technically wouldn’t make it sealed. Like your jars that are completely sealed with glass lids. The air exchange that a cork lid provides would drastically change the results.

Hey danny, a question please U changed from oase to ehein Surface skimmer Which do u find better? & Why did u change For a 20 gallon tank like yours?

I have one thats going to be 5 years old

[@PazLeBon]

half a year - 6 months :)

I really need to make this. Also, can you keep a small animal such as a small fish in it and make a little airtight closable tube to add food for the fish and allow the fish to live while doing this?

[@frowner_and_co]

DO NOT PUT FISH IN IT. FISH NEED PLACE TO SWIM, AND THE WILDLIFE IN IT MAY KILL IT

[@karthikmahadevaiyer]

Do you top off and compensate for evaporation?

[@DannysAquariums]

There’s no evaporation, it’s sealed. The evaporation that occurs within the jar stays within and automatically compensates. 🙂 There’s no human interference to the experiment.

[@danstvguy]

So this can never be opened or air introduced. Correct?

[@DannysAquariums]

It can be, but the concept is to keep it closed forever and let mother nature form her own balanced ecosystem within the jar.
