The Two Year Old Saltwater Ecospere
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ต.ค. 2020
- This is the two year update video on the huge natural saltwater ecosphere, or seaosphere. In this video we briefly go over the events of the past two years and take a look at how this closed ecosystem is doing now. We take a look at the algae living in the ecosphere, as well as all the animals; plankton, paramecium, crustaceans, (even a tardigrade!) living in this glass jar. This video features a lot of microscopic footage. The two year update on the little saltwater world on my windowsill.
Enjoy!

Those Paramecium were having a nice tiptoe through the tulips unaware that the blinding eye of their god was beaming down at them from a microscope on a pile of dvds
A good video every once in a while is better than a lot of rushed videos, I think.
I agree with this opinion
Amen
Oh yeah!
I agree
Ye
You know he's a true professional when he starts using dvd boxes to stabilize
Right?

this is better than most documentaries these days.
It's certainly better than the news these days.

RIP crab, know that you are still remembered even after all these years 😔
Right
Literally, he is. He matters to us & his life & death was not in vain.
Hold on Mr Jar Man, that looks like Sheldon J Plankton
Really? Well no that you say it, I do see a resemblance...
Uh oh..
It's already been so long, eh? Time flies.
**sad music**
Fr bro... i swear it felt like yesterday when i stumbled upon this guy's channel for the first time but it's been almost a year and a half.
@@neilshen759 same i found it right before he made the seacosphere
God, 2 years of generations; all just knowing the jar as their world. Can't help but feeling I'm just in a jar being observed on some Alien's science fair table.
Omg that was so deep I've never heard or thought that exact same theory
i mean you are on a planet
We're just 2 lost souls swimming in a fish bowl 🎶
X)
We are in a jar. Just replace the glass with an atmosphere.
Your voice talking about your ecospheres is so calming
Also the red paramecium be looking kinda sus
Red is so sus.
red is always sus
Whats sus mean
@@serbonkers4130 suspicious
My favorite part was how you pronounced “lil Thang!?”
6:14
Tardigrades are everywhere, in the deepest oceans, the highest mountains.
They're even in space... but not by choice XD
Me: is ready to go to sleep
Life in jar publishes a video about the seacosphere at 1 am (in my country)
Me: *I don't need sleep I need answers*
I'm so pleased that you got the microscope, so you can show us the beauty of such tiny little creatures.
I hope you enjoy your biology course.
Thank you for uploading
Which type/brand of microscope did he get?
@@maywalker997 I'm not sure, sorry, but if you watch the last few videos he mentions that he's got one...
This was very, very interesting! I would love to see a 3 year update.
No way it’s been two years, I remember the video like yesterday!
I find it hard to believe myself, but it's true...
i think it would be really fun, if, at the end of the year and your studies you sat down and talked about your first year college experience. i love that genre of videos since i aspire to be in college soon as possible, but i also think it would be nice to hear your take on what they taught you about ecology in school and whether youd like to pursue that path as well as which concentration you would be interested in. im also curious if youd be planning on doing research or not as some people enjoy it and others do not
You made this day a special day by just you being you and the best person you will ever be is your honest self
Great video.
So glad you mentioned bubble algae. I now finally know what it is I saw just two days ago on the seafloor in Curacao at a depth of about 1 meter.
At first I thought it was a spherical piece of glass of about 1-2cm. I tried digging it out but it was firmly stuck. I noticed it was elastic so it had to be organic.
I had absolutely no idea what it was but since you mentioned bubble algae I googled it and there it was. The organism I never knew existed.
very cool! you inspired me to start my own closed ecosystem, its going well at a month old (looking back I wish I used a larger container!). There was a snail and a baby crawfish that I have lost track of, but hoping they emerge someday!
always giving us viewers good content. Will wait for you next vid, upload whenever you have freetime, best wishes on your studies.
Thanks a lot!
I was here before there were dislikes. I hope it stays that way
Edit: it has come to my attention that the video has one dislike. I feel I am partly to blame. I am deeply sorry
Still looking good.
None so far
Just for that I will hit that dislike just for you.
Agreed
STILL GOOD!
I like how he reads his comments and replies to them. Like no youtubers do that any more.
No big TH-camr.
I see what you did there
@@LifeinJars what did he do?
Vraag mij af of deze humor in het buitenland even veel gewaardeerd kan worden
I never knew this 'life in kars' thing was a thing until today! Now I'm totally obsessed, gonna binge these all night now.
You inspired me and I created my own ecosphere and it is flourishing.
Imagine my shock to be watching this in my home in Austin, TX and hear a school nearish to where I grew up mentioned in a Dutch video. Thank you for making these jars filled with life, and your videos filled with educational but hilarious content. Your videos give me the vibes I need when I'm having a bad day. Can't wait tomsee what you do next
Your videos inspired me to start my own ecosphere with my local creek a few months ago and I recently started to see life. Mostly copepods but I've seen a worm thing and some tiny white dots
Love your music choice! Congrats and good luck with the focus on biology! Keep up the wonderful work
Can't believe I've been watching you for two years +. I love your channel man. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
I like that I found this channel because of these seawater ecosystem videos on the day this video completed 1 year and 1 day of existence.
Very interesting to see all the various life forms that continue to do well in the closed system. This and the one-year update are the first of your videos I've watched, but I'm subscribing and looking forward to exploring the rest.
I used to live in Atascocita. It's considered part of Humble but is really its own city. Kinda cool
So happy to hear you’re studying. The world needs a smarty to keep teaching the way you do. All the best to you and thank you for your videos 🐙
I could listen to you talk about life in these jars all day! Biology is favorite!!
i'm studying biology in college with special interests in microbiology and ecology and i love your videos so much! (: thank you for your hard work in making them
What a great update. Love the addition of the microscopic views. ❤
The fact that there are 660 likes compared to only one dislike really shows how people are enjoying these type of videos.
I got inspired. So I now made my first life in a jar. Exiting! It is a big old square plastic candy basket, with an airtight lid on top. I threw in (in order) compost, pond water, some fern leaves (with spores!), moss, fallen autumn tree leaves, a bird feather, some extra dirt that I know has an earthworm in it, and I topped it up by throwing in a fly that I caught by hand. I might have put in too much water in it, noting the water level. But we'll see. I already noticed, just 1 hour later... 1 small spider, an ant, a woodlice, and of course the earthworm and the fly I put in myself. I think I saw some other things crawl around... but not sure yet. ... I hope I did not put too much rotting stuff in it. So I have to make sure the plastic lid does not go bloated and pop off. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. If it does not happen, I'll tape up the top shut. If it does go bloated in some days... I'll probably have to let some air out. before closing permanently.... But what an interesting hobby! I can not stop watching at the thing. Hoping something will move. Tomorrow at daylight I'll start making photos of it. I got a micro lens, So I will be able to make good closeups. Too bad the plastic is not as see through as glass. I bought a glass bottle, but before I got home... it already cracked. It was too thin. I'll need a better glass jar. But first I want to see what the plastic candy basket does.
Any update on your candy container terrarium?
Plastic lense restorer like Plastex fills in scratches. There's also stuff for cloudy white car headlights you can try. Dollar tree has this large magnifying film the size of a page in the school/office isle you can prop it up and in crafts isle they have packs of large flattened glass marble drops, aka cow eyes. Glue a few around your container for magnifying peepholes. Though I hear chemicals leech through plastics, even the plastic itself breaks down in sunlight but we're talking water bottles, your candy jar is probably more stable. They make plastic aquariums so you might check to see if they have a special surface restorer
"Hold oN. There's a new track." I love how humorous you are.
Thank you for telling me about the Valeria Ventricosa, that was such an interesting fact and I looked at a few really cool studies done on the algae. I feel like I learned so much!
My pleasure!
Congratulations to your biology studies!
Thank you!
We are going to need a four year update next
Your videos are really great, don't worry about upload schedule, I'll always watch 💕
Love your narration, humour and new learning you provide. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I've just spent about an hour and a half watching videos and I find it so flipping fascinating.
You made this ecosphere on my birthday, I claim this as my favorite jar
Good to see you again. There is lots going on in that little jar after two years...it is fascinating. Thanks for taking the time.🖤🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
@@LifeinJars wouldn’t miss one.🖤🇨🇦
So cool man! Patiently awaiting your next video
This reminded me of Journey to the Microcosmos, one of my favorite shows. Thank you for it!
I love this channel, it's so calming, I always watch it before bed lol
Your videos are GREAT! Much better than mindless tv shows of today. Thank you!
I enjoyed the video. Looks like it's about time for a three-year update. :)
I don't think Jar Man is a nickname you'd want to have man hehe
Haha well... I'm afraid it's too late!
yeah ok SOUP SAUCE
Bowie did a song called JarMan 🎶
Sniper team fortress 2 *OH GOD WHAT HSPPENED*
@@prettyvacant3605 good stuff
I have a question: Have you ever had to get rid of an ecosphere?
I think he said in a Q&A video that he's never gotten rid of any.
@@angrydonutface7420 Ah alright, I didn't know. I only really watch on occasion
He opened a dead one tho, idk if it counts
I got a few dead ones that havent changed at all in months, they are sealed and i have no reason to throw them away, i also feel a little enotional attachment to those dead jars..
I belive LiJ feels the same maybe
what do you mean 'have to' and 'get rid' of one? like destroy it? I doubt it. he's not growing dangerous creatures that are going to break out of the jar and kill him or anyone else.
I'm glad to see an update.
Another enjoyable watch as usual! Time to settle in and wait for the next one haha.
Mr jar man you've gotten me addicted to making ecospheres. 😂😂
It's just amazing to me seeing all of the cool and interesting little animals living their funky little lives in a tank that looks totally dead at first glance... Awesome 😁
love all your vids!!! keep it upppp
Missed you eh, I love your updates.
Beautiful video and thanks for the music on it.
Awe very good video enjoy it with the last one I wish you well in the future life goes on ..🙂
Very professional contraption indeed! Especially the DVD cases and butchers string
I am immediately in love with this channel. It's so nice to just zonk out to! I'd love to make some royalty free music for you
Wow nice 2 year update great content
Your narration is just sublime. You could even do some other biology videos explaining different organisms. Keep up the awesome content 😃👍
Your videos take time to make but they are amazing biology you share with everyone! I hope it lasts forever!! 🍯
Now I want to do this for kids to learn about ecosystem, thank you for the ideia!
Oh hey! I'm in Texas, not too far from Atascosita. That's so cool that the middle school is a patron. We have a lot of nature reserves here that have very active water life, I'm sure the kiddos love seeing your videos, as do I. :)
Great, I've been waiting for an update on this
Hope you enjoyed it!
6:47 So have they tried to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula from you yet?
I keep them locked up!
Tof video, man! Ziet er goed uit, vooral met de microscoop. Ecologie is één van mijn lievelings studie. Veel succes!
hey, i watched a lot of your videos and they are really interesting. i have an unusual question/request, can you make a video with some kind of nightvision to see what happens in the jars at night/darkness, are there animals more active at night like predators and such?
your videos = instant anxiety cure
This video made me happy, thank you!
Just stumbled upon this guy and im already 3h deep into jars. Youre hilarious, sir
i’m so happy i found this channel!
Absolutely love the commentary.
Soon time for a three year update, love to see ehat happened
"Plankter"?! I live for the off-track - keep up the spontaneous details!!
Brilliant! I wonder how different it would have been if that heat wave hadn't have happened. Great video, thank you.
Yesss, I've been waiting for this one
Hope you enjoyed it!
That's very interesting. Infact i think i am going to start my own jar now
cant wait for the year 3 bc this is so interesting :)
Haha, what a great vid to drift by on my recommended list...
That building across the street made it instantly recignizable for me that that's in the good ol" NL :D
Good luck btw on your Biology studies
"On the glass community" Love that
this is SO COOL! love it.
It's so fascinating! I really want to try something like this someday.
Have fun when you do!
I learn more in a single one of your tangents than I ever did in a single day of American high school.
2 years and we are finally here 😪 they grow up too fast.
Lol love the "suspicious hook ups" but on a more serious note I'm glad I found your channel.
Amazing stuff!
mindblown, maar mindblowner door je very professional contraption ❤
You're going to be the Jacques Cousteau of microbio
Thanks for uploading again Jar Dad
My pleasure!
Mmm yes jar
Humble Texas! That's near me😃😃😃😃 .....I'm houstonian 😃😃😃😃..... another wonderful, informative, entertaining video......by our beautiful jar man😄❤
Oh yeah
Tardigrade...Dutch beaches...paramecium...and "Neckton- which can move against the current like fish and whales."....Im loving all of these things. if youre not a marine biology teacher then you need to become one.
Yeah, my boy is back with the jars!
