Creating a SALTWATER Ecosphere │ Marine Ecosystem in a JAR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- In this video I decided to create the long requested saltwater ecosphere. They are a lot more advanced than regular freshwater systems and therefore a lot easier to get wrong.
I created the ecosphere with sand from the ocean. I also gathered shells and seaweed from the beach. I threw them all into the jar, sealed it and hoped for the best. This is my first ever saltwater ecosphere and I'm hoping it is a success. The water cleared and organisms seem to be flourishing. With a little luck things should stay stable and flourish for years to come.
Familiar organisms are present within this ecosphere such as isopods, snails, ostracods and copepods. They are however marine variants that I have never seen inside an ecosphere of mine before.
There were quite a few different organisms in this ecosphere I couldn't identify. I am familiar with freshwater organisms, however marine are not my strength. It was a lot of fun to see these strange new species show up inside an ecosphere for me to study.
I am most excited about the tiny snails and the blue ostracods that I've found within this ecosphere. I'm hoping they establish long lasting populations. I'm also quite excited about the shoreline isopods. They zoom around so quickly it's almost impossible to capture any footage of them. They seem to never sit still and only stop moving to burrow in the sand.
I believe there is a lot more species that I've yet to find inside this ecosystem. I also reckon I may lose species over time. This ecosphere isn't mature yet so changes to it's ecology are to be expected.
If you enjoyed the video please let me know down in the comments! :)
This ecosphere was made on the 10th May 2021, although the video was uploaded much later. (Writing this here so i don't forget.)

Good luck with it, ive heard that seacospheres are very difficult to get right 😀
@@mrmissalot8311 Thank you. Fingers crossed this is a success. I love how biodiverse it is!
@@Jartopia yeah its lookin very nice so far 😀
I wanted the ask you , what camera do you use for video? Because the clarity of the zoom is out of this world.

Now I know all the organisms that went in my mouth when I swim at the beach
Can't complain about extra protein.
@@nullvektor9922 All he needs to do now is develop baleen-like structures to harvest these organisms more effectively next time he goes for a swim.
Eww
@boi mac I forget where I heard it but someone talked about the "dead body to water ratio" and how there is a certain ratio of water to dead body where you're okay with swimming in a body of water with a corpse. So like you wouldn't get into a bath tub with a dead body but you've certainly heard of the Titanic and yet there you are at the beach. So there's also a poop to water ratio where you're willing to get into the water despite there being poop in it. The question is how much poop to how many gallons of water.
Sure you've put much worse things in your mouth
That zoom in take on snail is superb. You can clearly see his radula
Please also use the non scientific term of a grated tongue... for the non scientific peeps :)
That's pretty *radula* dude~

@@ushoys yup
@@conservativechannel1549 you stupid?
I'm interested to see the effects of no tidal action on this Ecosystem and how differently it develops.
Same!
without anemones or coral maybe not so much? otherwise just give the jar a little shake at lunch everyday XD
That and creating ecosystems from different marine locations!
Maybe they can still sense the moon's position?
this might take years but i wanna see how they evolve differently from normal sea animals
For some unknown reason your videos make me feel good and they bring peace to my soul...
The Same for me. I come here when i need to find peace so i can sleep. Sometimes during the day when i need to calm Down. Whenever my father treats my like dirt i tend to ignore my anger and come to these Videos to find a bit of peace
@@shoinkmoink2729 God bless.
@@alderChristianHarten yeah the music helps a lot
Amazing how much life and complex interactions are in one scoop of sand and water.
You're going to have keep the temperature really cool to keep that going! Marine life don't like heat very much. The creature at 5:21 is either a cnidarian or a hydrozoan, which are quite similar. It looks like it could be an anemone but I'm really not sure. The bilateral symmetry could be a give away. The things floating on the surface are jellies. They are hydrozoans.
Where did you learn all of this my friend
@@newend2116 I worked at an aquarium
Water bug fine
like fridge temperature? I want to do this
@@noshoes1588 not fridge, just ocean temperature silly. For sure go do that
Damn this is the amount of creatures that could touch you everytime you take a dip in the beach.
Wow the snail part is extremely cool with that mouth
“what are you doing step snail?”
What that mouth do
So cute and hungry 🐌🥺
I have a freshwater aquarium with 2 nerite snails and I like to watch them eat too, they are a good size like 1 inch so easy to see eating on the glass.
@@taybeck why.
❤I never thought that I could become enamored by the tiny snail licking algae from the glass 😍 this concept is FASCINATING and now I wanna start one!!!
I must admit - this had me glued to my cellphone, very informative and unbelievable !
Whales eat plankton and look how tiny they are, absolutely amazing - now I want to do one of these and watch it grow as well.
👍💯💯💯💯
Yes, I do too.
Whales arent tiny
Oh wait nvm you were talking about plankron
That's what I was thinking about too!
I'd love to have one of these on my boat but I think the boat's movement might disrupt it. Then again, the sea is always moving so maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing. Another fascinating video, thank you.
I wonder if you had some sort of clay mud base instead of much sand, it might work?

@@nahclassified284 it's similar to when you're flying like super man inside the plane while it flies in the sky. Seems normal to me.
@The maybe they'll evolve beer guts and will build TVs and couches.
would probably agitate the sand causing the water to be super cloudy

The tiny snail is so cute. You can see their tummy filling up.♡
This man has one powerful and precise camera
Yes...wondering what kind or similar one with this capability. Could be filmed through large magnified lense?
@@armenvondoms1815 No idea 🤷🏻♂️
Everything from the music you use to the quality of your camera work to your knowledge about these critters is so perfect. These videos deserve some kind of award
I hope the eggs are snails , your camera makes sand look like a boulder field !
This channel has changed my life. Watching the first few videos was a religious experience for me. The thoughts that cascaded through my mind were delightful and energizing. This is magic!
I’ve got those eggs on the glass of my aquariums, plus all over the plants etc. Yours look to be snail eggs just as mine are. They are in a jelly. When they birth they are so tiny & cute to watch with magnification.
Enjoy your lovely little world 💛

@@sadedx woahh i loved ecospheres a year ago now I like aquariums! thanks for bringing me back :)
Bless the algorithm for letting me find this channel, I've been binging all your videos for the past day and Ive been inspired to make my own ecosphere tomorrow! Thank you for the inspiring and well made content, keep it up!
Snail cruising speed … chompchomp mph .
The most satisfying video I have seen in a long time I started a river / stream sample tank 6 months ago I’m shocked at what’s in it now amazing .
Love your salt water one it’s brilliant
The music, it helps me to sleep. The videos are incredible too.
As a person who recently got into terrariums and vivariums, this is so cool! It seems impossible!
I’m a simple man. I see jartopia, I click.
Amazing. A whimsical feeling watching this tiny world with your camerawork and the music. A saltwater ecosphere is very interesting and hopefully it works out.
This is so peaceful to watch ♥ I love all ecospheres but I think the saltwater ones are the most beautiful to watch ♥
I dont have anything important to say, but comments help, so here ya go.
dont drink seawater
I would like to second that motion
I cooked burger but feel disappointed, the steack was not so good
This is awesome, I love the snails' part of the exploration of this ecosphere!
However I'm curious, how does a saltwater ecosphere can be "viable/sustainable"? I mean freshwater ecosphere can "easily" spread and survive because many species are used to live in still water (or almost) but to compare saltwater organisms are much more used to sea movements(not a of course). Moreover isn't there any chance of limestone and salt deposit ?These questions may not be relevant but I'm really looking forward to see what this ecosphere will become!
Very calm no screaming or shouting.just chilling.
Beautiful footage of the snails, so cool to see the radula! I remember one time when I woke up to a loud scratching sound and I went over my entire bedroom nearly going mad only to eventually find out it was a big snail eating from one of my potted plants. Now I see how they could've made such a loud sound!
The background music made this even more fascinating. It feel like immersing yourself in the nature😂
Those eggs look almost exactly like my ramshorn snail eggs so im guessing they are just snail eggs of a different species
The saltwater ecosphere is cool and all but the water at that beach of yours is so calm! 😳
I love everything about this video, the music, the puppy, what youre doing. its so tranquil. Thankyou
it would be interesting to put a small island there.
Awesome ecosphere. I can't wait to see its update.
I really appreciate what you do, and with the edit (music, big zooms and information to understand) It's calming. Good job
This is such a peaceful video. I caught myself actually holding my breath during the video, to not disturb the quiet ambience.
this is amazing, heart warming, made me feel fascinated and inspired beautiful job well done
Could I really just go down to my local wild beach, get some sand, seaweed and water and create a functioning ecosphere? Or do I need anything else? Love the videos :)
I think it's pretty simple, I would suggest freshwater tho, less exciting, but more identifiable
@@jpbecker8681 is water and some dirt from a river ok?
@@yes1603 I'd think so, but I wouldn't suggest a highly polluted one, very small rivers and streams seem to work better (from what I've heard) due to the undisturbed ecosystem, less usage and interaction leads to more species and organisms
@@jpbecker8681 how much light do they need?
@@mckernan603 depends on where u got it, shaded areas usually don't require much, I have a nice one from one of MI's great lakes, and I just have it under a lamp that's on maybe 35-40% of the time
So cool! Been waiting for this one. Excited to see future updates, hope it perseveres.
So much life in such a tiny space. Mind boggling and fascinating.
That’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen thank you
fascinating, as always ^^
The fact that this is a saltwater ecosystem is quit interesting, I have never seen marine species as tiny as these :)
I hope we will see a good developement for this ecosystem, the fact that certains species seems to have only one member is somewhat worrying for their futur ^^'
Thanks for your work !
I look at life on a whole other level watching these videos. Life is so unique and precious.
I love your content. I just know that it's stuff like these that educate others about such organisms can really help save the ecosystem as a whole :)
A mad scientist somewhere out there would love to shrink humans and placed them in a jar. What if it already happened (Earth) would be freaky.
I’ve always thought having a small sentient species in a big jar would be really cozy, seeing them build little homes and places of worship and other things would be so interesting to watch.
Solar opposites the tv show
mmmmm the
MANN MILK
That’s why we have the sims
Flat-earthers: Hmmm, interesting...
Now THIS is what I love to watch!
I actually just made a bunch of these from my family cabin’s lake water!! I had jars exactly like yours and I put sand, different types of seaweed, shells, small rocks, and different types of snails(mostly very small ones!) in it. I actually made three of these ecospheres! One is for me, the second is for my grandma who couldn’t come up to the cabin with us this year bc she had foot surgery so I’m hoping this will cheer her up, and the last one was a present for my aunt which I made at her lake from her lake water. They turned out sooooo cool and I would highly suggest that everyone try it bc it’s so fun to make and then you get to take a little piece of wherever you are, with you.
My favorite thing about these ecosphere videos is the amazing ambient music used in the background. It's like discovering a mystery.
I love it - never occurred to me that these could be sustained. I want to give this a try :)
amazing, life is everywhere, imagine the life out in the universe...this was very interesting!
That puppy did an outstanding job!
This is absolutely amazing. So relaxing and very informative. Thank you
Ah, a clutch of giant squid eggs in the sand!
Another wonderful video! I do have a question...The ocean is constantly moving. Won't the stillness of your ecosphere have a detrimental effect on the life forms inhabiting it?
This questioning also crossed my mind!
It’s just like a mini Rockpool so will probably do fine for a time, But eventually it’ll need fresh water to bring more nutrients and flush wastes away
as I said, I don't really think he cares at all, he'd just go to the beach, dump the dead stuff and replenish. Let's all take his example
Regardless it’s a great way to view the life of the ocean
@@3Clod i dont care at all either, its just seaweed and snails, the dumbest creatures on earth.
This was so relaxing to watch and amazing to see the diversity even in a bucket of seawater. Subbed.
Your videos are always very relaxing. Thanks for uploading!
How perfect and knowledgeable is god in his creations wow !!!
Which god would you be referring to? There’s been thousands. I’m just curious as to which ‘pretend’ creator you think exists.
Amen! God gives life everywhere, all environments and species are cleverly and wonderfully designed to match, without his presence nothing would grow.
All Glory to God our Heavenly Father.
@@word2believe your ‘god’ doesn’t exist, along with the 999 other gods humans have made up throughout existence. Stop thanking an imaginary creator and start believing and thanking science and the laws of the universe.
@@josephmonti-kaye2487 No, i thank God the creator, not the creation itself, just because you don't understand him doesn't mean he doesn't exist, i get my prayers answered in the name of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:14
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned".
Science that benefits mankind is encouraged by God, in fact many scientists and mathematicians have concluded that God exists but modern mainstream science paid by the masonic elites are based on theories that removes logic in exchange for pagan concepts like heliocentrism which is essentially sun worship, these concepts are foolishness, in fact you can research this.
Admiral Byrd did an expedition to antartica where he found what he describes as an ice wall, shortly after he returned operation fishbowl/Dominic (dominic means of the Lord so it's operation "fishbowl of the Lord") the operation began where they would send nukes/missiles to see how far the firmament went, one of the people involved was the famous nasa's scientist Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun, an alledged Nazi SS Rank Major, they concluded the operation and saw that the firmament is real, when Von Braun died on he's grave he wanted a bible verse which is psalms 19:1 (kjv bible)
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork."
Why would a nazi scientist SS rank Major working at nasa put that exact verse on he's grave?
And let's not forget that since then antartica is off limits and several countries made a treaty on this, countries never really agree on anything for long terms but this one is still going...
Also nasa names there machinery after pagan deities like apollo (” In Hebrew, the name “Abaddon” means “place of destruction”; the Greek title “Apollyon” literally means “The Destroyer.”)
You also research this.
The ABC interview from 1965 with the scientist Professor R Foster,
in the interview he claims the Moon is not solid but Plasma. He claims any attempts at a moon landing will not possible. If you check the moon landing, there are many claims that it is fake and you will know its fake if you check the many video analysis one of the biggest being that when the ship departures the camera is still there and moving to film the ship going up, so how did the footage got on board if the ship was departuring and who was filming it? Also nasa destroyed all equipment and can't construct it again, how convenient.
Main stream scientist are masons part of the satanic elites, mostly paid to read a script to push an agenda.
There are many more reasons, i suggest you investigate on your own and make your conclusions, truth is God exists and the only way to eternal life in heaven is through Jesus Christ who paid the price for us so we could all be saved by grace through faith.
Truth is God loves you and you are important to him, these scientists will have you think you're just a spec of dust in an infinite universe along with other galaxies, that gives you an excuse to live life on the limits and try things you normally wouldn't. God gave us simple commands to live life in harmony, do not steal, do not lie, do not kill, do not be a false witness, the government breaks all the things and allows it, for example people can be kill legally if they are sentenced to death like the electric chair, many people died under false accusations and were later proved innocent when the matter at hand was forgotten by the public.
In the end it's your choice to believe it or not, either way have a great day, God is key to understanding, took me years to believe in God so i will not judge you "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:12
not a single organism is perfect.
Wouldn’t be a Jartopia video without “This Copepod is carrying eggs”
Lol very true!
this is pure gold, god job my friend, keep it up, it is so beautiful to be able to watch up close all the life that surrounds us.
C'est merveilleux ! Merci pour ce partage !🤲🤲😍😍🤲🤲
Hey, I just wanted to say how amazing and inspirational your videos are and I wanted to ask how much sunlight and warmth do these ecospheres need or can tolerate. Thank you so much for what you are doing.
How do you determine how much seaweed is needed to produce enough oxygen for the ecosystem?
Exactly?! It looked like he just chucked some crap from the beach into a jar
@@seanoreilly1832 can you explail about light conditions?
How you feed them.?
that should auto regulate i think. if theres too much seaweed, theyll run out of carbon dioxide and start to die off. qlso, this ecosphere isnt meant to last all that long
@@huzaifaansari5639 they absorb nutrition and carbon dioxide from water.
Educational. Heart Warming. Inspirational.
Very cool! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!
i think I'm going to play Spore again after watching this video
This is great, i love your videos! but a quick question, how do you store your ecospheres? I actually had one of mine on a window side and it has absolutely filled with mould and fungus! I'd love to know how you keep all your jars alive and kicking :)
That happens, many ecosystems quickly parish with toxic chemicals and apex predators and others slowly decay with malignant bacteria and plant death, this world you created has become stagnant. Create another one, create a new world free of the prior ecosystems baggage, create a new world from a different source and maybe your results may vary.
This is a question I ask myself during every video I watch! Doesn't need every ecosphere a different amount of sunlight and a different temperature, too?
I had a similar problem and I think the best solution is to add some springtails into the jar - these little creatures are great cleaners and they eat mould.
sunlight breeds algae faster. use artificial light more, maybe an hour of sunlight for exposure but other than that keep it away from the sun
No direct sun. There isn't enough circulation for that and you had a bloom burst. Algae and mold. Check temp of water you got.
First of your videos I have watched, I loved it. I can see my little girl & I having a crack at this very soon. This is exactly what UA-cam is for. Thank you.
The first song that you always use is maybe my favorite music of all-time. Holy shit, so relaxing.
Thank you for a great video like always.

I truly enjoyed watching that thank you. I learned a lot. What a beautiful planet we have.
5:06 Whoa.. Those are literally grains of sand.
They are small! How does your camera pick that up?
The tiny unknown molluscs looks like a clam (more specifically a mussel) but i dont know a mussel species that small, might be a baby mussel tho
Super cool video! Can’t wait to see how the ecosystem develops!
You have me jazzed up. I used to live near the Texas gulf coast and I would bring home anemones from the giant rocks making up the seawalls and jetties. And at certain times of year the Sargassum weed would be blown into shore wave after wave. If you go out past the surf with a fine mesh net and shake a clump of weed over it you would get Sargasso sea slugs like little Spanish Dancers, little Sargassum frog fish that walk on their hand-like fins, pipe fish no thicker than thread, seahorses, sargassum crabs. And all of them mottled orange brown and white to blend prefectly into the weeds. But it was a little scrap of leather coral blown in on a storm that gave the most unexpected surpises. Tiny black starfish that looked made of black thread, bristly red fireworms and a hidden tiny blenny that I did not see until a month later.
I am too broke to do large fancy marine tanks anymore but I can do microspheres like a fleet of NASA engineers. I can't wait until spring when I hit the beach again. And thank you for helping me realize I will need to gather a lot more sand to make sure no unicorns get stranded alone in my ecosystem.
Question: How would recommend to seal your ecosphere?
