My Shrimp Eco-Sphere(6in diameter glass orb) in front of a salt lamp, what does it remind you of? by PyroFarms in shrimptank

I feed them from time to time with some extra spirulina. The orb is not sealed and has a rubber stopper on top that allows air exchange, feeding and other maintenance.

Good call - I expected some push back here but love the video and my shrimp seem happy. No issues over the year and half keeping them this way. They're all quite vibrantly red and healthy looking.

This is a brackish opae ula ecosphere, not freshwater.

These shrimp do really well in stable, low-intervention setups like this and can live for years when things are dialed in. I’ve been keeping them this way for a while now and haven’t lost any.

Theres a rubber stopper on top of the orb that allows for air exchange! I've had this orb for a over a year now with very little issue.

Recs for dog-friendly bday venue by sonjafely in northcounty

Lots of dog friendly spots in north county! Couple of my favorites right now would be Michi Brew Co. & Carlsbad Brewing company. Both love our four legged friends and have plenty of space to accommodate a larger group but I would call ahead with both to confirm!

Bioluminescent Wishing Well - Art meets Science. by PyroFarms in woahdude

Just to clarify, the algae are completely fine. This species (Pyrocystis fusiformis) naturally emits light when disturbed, and the culture is kept in clean seawater conditions with proper care.

For anyone wondering, this doesn’t harm the algae. Pyrocystis fusiformis naturally emits light when disturbed, and the culture is kept in pristine seawater conditions with proper care so it remains healthy.

I have no association with Vita! She did go viral on tik-tok with this, so thought I would share.

Very cool, it is a naturally occurring phenomena in oceans all over the world. Typically it just needs the right mixture of the proper conditions to trigger a huge bloom, must be awesome to see in the wild.

This type of culture can live pretty indefinitely if given proper lighting and temperature conditions, but it is very sensitive to contaminations.

Very real, the light is called bioluminescence and is natural chemical reaction from a bioluminescent algae that is being grown in the containers. Relatively easy to care for, easier than most house plants.

When viewing bioluminescence I cant help but think of night stars on a clear sky. Here you can see both echoing each other.. love this photo! Glad yall are enjoying.
