Water once in 12 years and then seal shut for another 60.

Hello from noob and quick question.

Posted: 24 Jun 2021 07:14 AM PDT

Hello everyone, I'm new to this sub and this hobby...but very excited to start my first project!

I had this gallon sized glass bottle of Tabasco sauce (yes I love hot sauce 😆) and I started thinking about what to do with the jar after it was empty... that's how I discovered the world of jarrariums, biospheres, and jar terrariums.

Anyway I want to use this jar to make a planted backyard jar with isopods and centipedes. I plan to take my time to get it right, and thought I'd draw on someone else's expertise to improve my odds of success. ☺️👍

First question for step one: prepping the bottle. Like I said it was a hot sauce bottle and I want to make sure all the capsaicin and hot sauce residue is gone and the environment is safe for the stuff I put in.

What cleaning products can I use to really get it clean? What should I do a final rinse with to make sure I'm not leaving behind cleaning product residue? Is just soap rinsing and swishing okay as long as all smells are gone, or do I need to scrub the inside with forceps (ordered some online) too?

Thanks for any advice and tips! I'm really excited, and looking forward to sharing it as I go. ☺️👍

Filtered water ok?

I am looking to add some more water to my terrarium, but don't want to kill off the plants I have. Is filtered water safe to add? (I live in the USA)

If not, is distilled water fine?

Help with shrimp jar

Posted: 23 Jun 2021 04:44 PM PDT

Does anyone have a step by step guide to create a shrimp jararium. I want it to be as self sustaining as possible.

tryna get into the hobby through this shrimp jar, but can not find a straightforward tutorial for my life.

My general idea is having surface, rocks, wood maybe, a few plants, snails and most importantly shrimp.
