Are all jars eventually doomed from CO2 buildup due to H+ ions, or can this be prevented? Posted: 11 Jun 2022 06:35 PM PDT Doing some research online, I came across this old Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jarrariums/comments/ehjid1/the_limit_what_will_collapse_your_ecosystem_no/ The poster (who appears to no longer be on Reddit) explained that all ecospheres, no matter how well constructed, will eventually die due to CO2 poisoning. H+ ions will build up in the water, which will react with calcium carbonate (if the system contains some; he advises adding some to keep acidification in check) to produce excess CO2. Over time, this CO2 will build up to imbalance the system. What I'm trying to figure out is why this doesn't happen in the real world. What mechanisms keep this process in check, and how could we replicate them in a jar? submitted by /u/poverty_pond [link] [comments]

Is watercress sufficient as far as plants? Posted: 11 Jun 2022 11:02 AM PDT I've just started my first jars, with water and sediment from a local stream/ditch. There appears to be lots of life of different sorts; snails, flatworms, leeches, copepods, etc. Also some dragonfly larva that I will have to remove once the water clears up enough. The only water plants around were some watercress. I added some to each jar, but since watercress tends to be an emergent plant I'm wondering if that is sufficient, or if I should find some other plants elsewhere. Where I'm at the local ponds and streams seem rather deficient in submerged plants. submitted by /u/poverty_pond [link] [comments]

Detritus worms died off? Posted: 10 Jun 2022 09:36 AM PDT I have a small jar with bladder snails in it, along with gravel and Java moss and I believe guppy grass. It's been going strong for months, algae coming and going, all under an LED daylight bulb. I did small water changes as needed. It had a good amount of detritus worms (tons actually, they'd be all over the glass until I turned the light on each morning) but now they're suddenly gone. Any ideas as to how something like that can happen? I can't find a single one. Not even when I turn on the light. I do have what looks like seed shrimp, their population is going up noticeably. Does that make a difference? submitted by /u/StrikingLight5 [link] [comments]
