Dual jarrariums Posted: 14 Mar 2020 02:35 PM PDT ​ Dual jarrariums, March 2020. My two first jarrariums, running since October 2019. The left is ~2L Mason jar and the right ~1L. I just happened to have a set of grow-lights that fit perfectly over the lids. The mason jars are sat in a bookshelf out of direct sunlight. I run the growlights on a timer - ON during evening/night when i want to watch, and OFF during daytime.. ​ The larger jar was set in October 2018 with just pond mud and a stick. Lots of worms and dancing going on. After a couple of weeks I added some aquarium plants and about 4-5 ramshorn snails. Unfortunately it got run over by algae in December, which i didn't have time to tend to and that killed off pretty much the entire jar including it's inhabitants. RIP snails :( The 2L before being run over in November. Some orange algae can be seen starting to grow on the glass, which would eventually cover the entire jar. Fortunately i had the second smaller jar up an running so I was able to do a reset of the big jar in February . The big jar had then been standing unattended for about a month and and the walls were covered in orange slime and the inside was a barren aquatic desert. I did a full water change, scrubbed the walls a bit and transfered some plants and snails, hoping it would clear it up. The ramshorns quickly did their magic running around the jar munching up everything, and in about a week the glass and water was clear again. ​ The 2L jar today (March, 2020). I recently added a piece of driftwood to give the ramshorns something to climb on, and so they don't pull the surface plants to the bottom. The smaller 1L mason jar has basically been problem free since the beginning. I planted it using the Walstad method (basically first potting soil, then some gravel, and then water on top). I had some bonsai clay pellets so I used that instead of gravel. Added a few volcanic rocks from Teneriffe for decoration. ​ The smaller 1L jar after planting, November 2019. It has been teeming with life since about November, and seems to have found a really healthy equilibrium without any intervention on my part. Really fun to see the ramshorns clean, the worms dance, the plants thrive and the little water critters jump around. I was lucky to have this one running so smoothly so I could restart/save the larger jar. ​ The smaller 1L mason jar today March 2020. Unfortunately one of the larger ramshorns passed away, but its shell made a nice decoration :) I really like sitting and watch the snails and the critters. The smaller jar has been basically unattended for 3+ months now. The low to nonexistant maintenance and high payoff really make these really far superior to aquariums for me. submitted by /u/renskav [link] [comments]
