I spend much time on a vessel at sea, and am often dreaming of the feasibility of such a thing that I might be able to take with me, so I might have some life to witness inside our steel cage. Would love to see a free and foraged version also, yet this is very helpful, thanks!
This animal list is full of really good picks! Snails are vital to keeping an ecosphere clean and healthy! Amphipods are energetic and bioactive, breaking down larger items very effectively! Daphnia are powerful filter feeders, keeping hte water column pure! Flat worms River limpets are known for getting the really tough kinds of algae and biofilm that other snails sometimes can't!
3:15 as someone who does mostly chemistry, i can tell you, never turn a ground glass joint without grease! always just lift it up, youre risking seizing it every time, and once its seazed, especially if it isnt boro glass, its really really hard to get out.
Oh shit this happened to me about a month ago. I was so confused on why it wasn’t opening. My dad ended up breaking it. Thanks for the tip, really helpful!
hey you know your favorite terraruim the fish bowl one with the garlic snails, millipedes and isopods can you list a terreruim like that on your website
Wait do you have to buy animals or if you just pick up dirt and plats and water for it will there be animals in it that you can see becuase I just made one from a pond
Makeing a tiny ecosystem with fish and the fish liveing for a long time before I let them go is how I got a aquarium 😂 (sorry if this is wired but i am still sending it 😅)
When I make this eco system, do I need to take the cap off to give it air at all? I was told by one that I do and then I watch these videos on u tube and I don’t ever see or hear that the lids get removed at all?
i think that grass-like aquatic plant is vallisnera Nana, as some vallisnera at their juvenile stage looks similar to the smaller varieties, therefore sometimes people mistaken them as other varieties of vallisnera.
I'm late to the party, but I've always wondered what would happen if plants from the local pond or creek were mixed in with some store bought plants. Would be interesting to see if one dominated the other or if they could coexist easily.
many plants used in indoor aquariums are tropical or subtropical and thus are more likely to thrive at room temperature than native cold tolerant plants however it really depends on the plants there are slow and fast growing plants stem plants, floaters and epiphytes
Nice - really enjoyed watching this 👍 Apologies if the following is a dumb question, I know nothing about ecospheres! Do you have to do anything to prevent hypoxia with the lack of air/gas exchange or is the photosynthesis enough (if so, cool!)?
There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered. Quran [6:38]
Big fan of this page. Just recently got into the idea of creating a terrarium and I have a question for you: would asparagus ferns survive in a terrarium with an open top? Or do they need a more humid environment than that?
thank you for taking a moment to show us the duckies

1:22 Love the watch, Lucas! Is it waterproof?
Very nice work 👍😍

I make biospheres here in Singapore. I use water and media etc from the ponds in the botanic gardens. My retirement hobby!😊😊
I m glad you found Lucas
Lucas is always in a pond somewhere
I think you know lucas personally ☺️
We all need access to a Lucas. Brilliant.
If I wanted to make a self-sustaining ecosystem for my pet turtle, in a 50x25cm tank, would this video work as a good blueprint?
Do amphipods eat flatworms?
Bro I’d just take my shoes and socks off and walk straight into the pond. That’s what I normally do.
Where did you get the daphnia & flatworms?
1:07 - Holy hell! You look like Heath Ledger!
Can't wait for the update
Me too! Thanks for watching ♥️
Okay…I LOVE Lucus! Does he have a channel?
Did the blatter snails explode & kill everything? That happened in one of my fish tanks :(

Thank you very much!
These are my favourite ecospheres, the natural ones 🙂
Bruh contamination with the super glue

i have a scar on my pinky from seizing the bowl on my bong😭😭😭
Whut about little little tiny organisms like stentors and planarians?
Do u feed them?
This is fascinating. How has it done over the long term?
hey you know your favorite terraruim the fish bowl one with the garlic snails, millipedes and isopods can you list a terreruim like that on your website
he kinda looks like newt scamanda from harry potter
Update?

You don't really. I only remove the lids when I'm trimming plants
Awesome.
You are my idol lucas chicksand I remember seeing you around school and I love your epic toads and ecosphere. Love from ryad
i think that grass-like aquatic plant is vallisnera Nana, as some vallisnera at their juvenile stage looks similar to the smaller varieties, therefore sometimes people mistaken them as other varieties of vallisnera.
And the other plant could be a Rotala Rotundifolia in its emers state.
Correct! A friend confirmed the rotala
Ty!
I love ur voice
1:09 he was actually really cute here
Beautiful!
Lucas MVP!
Where can you find them can you find them in streams
The creatures? I believe lucas got them from a pond
So cool!
Duckies!
Why buy plants rather than collect them from the stream?
I know that these plants work! ☺️
Dude is the Joseph Gordon Levitt of biomes
Would water/substrate from a canal work for an ecosystem?
Yes it would work just the same. Just remember it may take a couple of weeks for it to all settle and the water to clear
Can't get enough of this channel ❤️😭😭
I want to make one now!
Lucas is a proper geeza, id have a pint with him 😃🍻
Agreed!
This ecosphere is absolutely marvelous! I hope you’ll do some other videos like this! 🤩
This is awesome, could we get some updates on this as time goes on?
Why not make a terrarium from a polluted source? You could study how the organisms deal with pollution.
That's an idea 🙂
Heath Ledger
Id love to see one with micro fish maybe thats self sustaining not just bugs thatd be wicked
Such a cool project. It seems a bit daunting though if you have no prior experience!
Recruit a Lucas 😁
@@WorcesterTerrariums Not me, though :D
I'd love to do this, but it might be difficult to find an unpolluted stream in my area of Southern California 😄
Aww does a friend have a pond?
maybe a park has a pond
How often do you take the lid off? Will you add water every few weeks/months? Love your videos!!
You don't need to remove the lid very often. With mine I only remove the lids when I'm trimming the plants 🙂
Shouldn’t there be predators to keep it balanced the population balanced?

I learned sooo much!😀
Brilliant work!👏
Is it just me or does this channel host look a bit like Heath Ledger??
Nice - really enjoyed watching this 👍 Apologies if the following is a dumb question, I know nothing about ecospheres! Do you have to do anything to prevent hypoxia with the lack of air/gas exchange or is the photosynthesis enough (if so, cool!)?
The water plants would take carbon dioxide from the water and convert it to oxygen. There is no exceptionally large animals so oxygen use is small.
JOHN CENA??????????
Amazing 😍 I love these videos 🖤

You can plant asparagus ferns in just regular soil and a pot so an open terrarium should be just fine.
duckies :D
Terrarium and plants videos are very calming my anxiety and depression is starting to disappear thank you :)
please make a translator in Indonesian
Is the Jartopia channel aware of your plagiarism?
How so?
Plagiarism? They didn't start the trend.
Never been a fan of caging animals. Whether that's a snail or a lion.
Think i'll stick to plants 😊
I clicked on the video and immediately asked myself, why does he have boogers in a jar
