I went to my local beach in Rehoboth Delaware (not the cleanest water) but i was still able to grab a few cool living things and seaweed, etc. but just have a few questions on what I should do I have a few baby sand crabs the ones that bury in the sand in the waves and a few lil clams with tongues(foot), also a lil tape worm looking thing. And just wondering what you guys think, I can add some pictures of it. Will the sand crabs stay alive? Do I have to have a constant light supply.

Also I'm looking for any resources to be able to learn more about micro biology and ecosystems as such so I'm able to identify and keep these things alive myself does anyone recommend any good books to do this.

Low Preassure in sealed jarr, everything died

Posted: 20 Aug 2020 10:28 AM PDT

I sealed my verry first 15 gallon jar about two weeks ago and the first few days it seemed to do verry good. I added four different plants, earth from the forrest, some earthworms and woodlouse. (i read that you can do that with such a big jar). a few days ago i recogniced hundreds or even thousands of white tiny worms and i belive that theese were little earthworms, i didnt thought about it to much. But three days ago suddenly every animal died, even the springtails that increased in numbers verry well till this point. Yesterday i saw that even the plants started dieing, so i opened the bottle today and recogniced that there was low pressure in there.

I now hope that the plants will survive and i can rehabilitate all the animals. But i dont want the story to repeat and everything to die again...

So my question is, does anyone know what happend inside of the jarr?

The jar contains a layer of gravel at the bottem, charcoal as a middle layer and the earth on top.
