Just made this. Apparently I have a style.

First Jar! My husband and I have already seen so much life! Can’t wait to see where it’s at in a month!

Just started out, am I doing this right?

A quick jar inspired by someone on here or aquascapes! What plants should I add to it?

Beginner questions for aspiring shrimp jar

Posted: 07 Mar 2020 06:34 PM PST

I've been reading materials on creating my first Walstad-like jar for a while and I have a few quick questions before I make my first jar. Any help is appreciated!

1) I got a bag of Fluval Stratum, which was recommended to me by my local fish store. However I noticed that many guides recommend using organic potting soil. What are the benefits of each? Should I mix and match (and cover with small gravel).

2) I eventually want to put Red Cherry Shrimp into my jar after the jar is properly cycled. Is this selection of plants suitable: Java fern, Anubias (not sure which variant yet), Marimo moss ball, duckweed?

3) I really like the look of Monte Carlo carpet but I'm also worried they will spread too quickly and outcompete the rest of the plants. I also hear that detritus can accumulate under and eventually kill everything due to nitrates/nitrites. Is this a concern I should have for a jar?

4) If I purchase plants from a fish store that had them in water already, is a wet start fine? I don't really want to experiment with a dry start in my first jar.

For my fellow jarrariites

Lid or no lid?

Posted: 07 Mar 2020 03:33 PM PST

I've tried making a closed off ecosystem before and have had great success with it, however I am still a beginner. I've been wanting to do an aquatic jarrarium for a while now, hopefully one day making one with a bit of life in it. In this sub I've seen people make jarrariums both with lids and without lids for their aquatic jarrariums and I was wondering if one was better than the other/which one you guys prefer for aquatic jarrariums?

-And while I am not planning on getting any shrimps or snails for my first aquatic jarrarium, I am still curious to whether or not one should use a lid for that kind. Thank you in advance!

Graduation project

Posted: 07 Mar 2020 11:04 AM PST

Hi, all! I'm a senior biology major with minors in chemistry and geology. I'm graduating in May with honors, so I have to present at a research conference. Originally, I had planned to do a literature review, but I just had an idea to create a jararrium and collect data from it. Then, I can present it! Admittedly, I've never created one before, but I've been researching a ton. Does anyone have any opinions about doing this? Any tips? (They would be greatly appreciated!!) what kind of data can I collect? I have a microscope, so I could look at any water samples! Thanks in advance! (I'm so excited to learn more about these!)

I have a (pretty dirty) pond in my front yard, so I plan to use pond mud and water with a few plants from there and a snail if I can find one as well!
