    This jar scape looks way way bigger than it really is! 😮

      It’s so awesome what you can achieve with a few stones, sticks and plants 😊

      I have a ton of ideas that I can’t wait to start building. A few are already done and I just have to find some time to edit the videos.

      That is a great idea. I was at a Terrarium Expo a few weeks ago and saw that most people keep them in very small containers. Do they need just not much space? These jars would be perfect then.
      Thank you :)

      @@glassyGREEN_ Usually the baby tarantulas you keep in pill vials. They don't need much space at all! Until they grow into full adults then maybe 2-3 times more than its size.

    Echt schönes Video, vielleicht baue ich mir selber auch mal sowas. Aktuell habe ich eher Erfahrungen mit kleinen Terrarien gemacht.

    In such little jars I often get problems with the walstad method (to much nutiens and massive agae growth). I tested a kind of the father fish method with using just a handful of leavelitter and without substrate and it works much better (in my opinion). Maybe that would be an idea of another Projekt for you to show?

    • @glassyGREEN_
      @glassyGREEN_  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is a great idea, I will try that. Thank you :)
      So far I don’t have any problems with algae. I was also concerned about that amount of nutrients which is why I used a substrate that should be very low in nutrients and organic matter and also very fast growing plants that absorb the nutrients pretty fast.

    Hi, my daughter and i want to replicate this for a school science experiment. We're absolute beginners so should we test the water daily once we've assembled it to check the levels are ok for the snails and plants? Will this set up work without the ostracods?

    • @glassyGREEN_
      @glassyGREEN_  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey, that sounds great. It will definitely work without the ostracods. If you want to add the dirt layer I recommend you to check out the walstad method to get more information about that. Otherwise you could also only use gravel without the dirt layer.
      You can test the water regularly if you want to. But in my experience it is not necessary if you do regular water changes and don’t have a big bioload from animals. But maybe as a beginner a test from time to time will help :)
      You should also give the setup some time after adding the water, so beneficial bacteria can grow.
      Good luck and just start experimenting (maybe with a planted setup first) :)

      @glassyGREEN_  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Obienne you can add the plants immediately. But you should wait a bit before adding the snails as there are not enough bacteria in the substrate to turn their poop that could potentially contaminate the water into harmless substances. Especially if you feed your snails. You can search for „aquarium cycling“ if you want to learn more about this :)
