    Since you're keeping more complex animals like a fish, I would highly recommend at least getting some high water movement in the tank if you're not going to get a filter. As you can see from where you picked them up, those animals aren't from stagnant water. A powerhead should do the trick. I would also recommend getting some dry live rock so that beneficial bacteria can grow on it. The water movement will basically make the rock act like a biological filter. Sure, that means not everything you have will be locally sourced, but it'll be much better for your aquarium in the long run (or you can get a big hunk of porous rock from the beach if there are any).

      I agree that this is not the ideal setup, however you have to keep in mind that I'm going to release all animals in little over a week. I do manually simulate water movement. Thanks for the tips

    This is great, I've done this with my kids just to show them new things and living across the street from the beach made it real easy.

    Cool project! would love to see the flounders. You might want to use a small sponge filter, and maybe breed some brine shrimp as food for the fish. Add some seaweeds of different kinds into the tank. Sea lettuce is really good and is edible for humans, too.

    • @LifeinJars
      @LifeinJars  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I will try to add some sea lettuce. I was also planning to catch some little copepods and other crustaeceans from the same marina.

  • @pe8427
    @pe8427 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Very cool, I think you might want to add a bubbler or a small filter. Just to oxygenate the water. Also having moving water helps prevent dead zones and stagnant water.

    • @LifeinJars
      @LifeinJars  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I manually create water movement, especially on the surface to ensure enough oxygen in the water.

    • @pe8427
      @pe8427 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Life in Jars? I was wondering how you create water movement?

    • @pe8427
      @pe8427 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also this setup would work perfectly for a freshwater setup. Most of the creatures in a freshwater aquarium are suited to a low oxygen environment and have a higher tolerance to nutrient levels. Saltwater creatures however are extremely sensitive and a nutrient spike could kill everything. The creatures in your aquarium were caught in the surf. They are used to high water movement, low nutrient levels, and high oxygen levels. You just need something to add water movement. This will reduce nutrient and bacteria buildup, oxygenate the water, and will simulate the natural habitat of those creatures.
      I would recommend a power head or a filter

    So cool, I've always wanted to do this with native uk rockpool species for ages now.
    If you know anywhere with rock pools you should definitely give it a go rock pooling for new shrimp species and other cool stuff. I personally really like the look of Palaemon serratus (common prawns) and think they'd make a good addition to your aquarium if you add a couple more rocks.

  • @Yeti167
    @Yeti167 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You should have done some kind of sand elevation, to have some part of terrarium, maybe some great crustaceans could be put there.
    That's a awesome new project. Bring more videos!
