How to Make a Closed Aquatic Ecosystem

Do you want to build an autonomous aquatic ecosystem that will enable future generations to understand marine life and the environment around us?

Join us to create an aquatic ecosystem in a half gallon bottle with a glass lid for two anacari and three Japanese algae. This is a wonderful project for children in school age.

A closed ecosystem exists independently without external input. Prawns eat algae, algae and aquatic plants with shrimp waste as food. Starting with the water in the pond is a good way to make sure there are lots of algae and other beneficial microorganisms. This project is not mandatory, but the ecosystem will do a better discharge work. This enables gas exchange with the external environment. With proper ventilation, your ecosystem can survive for more than 10 years!

Lush vegetation used for reproduction and inhabitation. Some popular species found in local pet shops include: Anacari, Jawamos, Jawashida, Dwarf Anubias

Optional: Cokeball to help breeding and provide additional shelter and phosphate supplements and / or alternative aquatic plants

Note: If you can not use water from the pond, prepare the jar at least 1 day before using tap water and complete the water treatment. Before plants are produced on their own, shrimp needs algae or algal mat from pond water for nutrition.

Please keep indirect sunlight inside the room indoors. Your ecosystem should last for years

Note: Avoid direct sunlight to avoid excessive growth of algae. Because they eat algae, you do not need to feed shrimp. It is hard to believe that it is necessary to add water if indoor aquatic plants are kept away from direct sunlight.

If you find that the algae are flourishing, try adding another shrimp or snail. Over time, the ecosystem enters equilibrium where the waste matter of one creature is used by other organisms. This is a wonderful way to show our children how we can recycle nutrients with our larger ecosystem. And humans and animals inhale oxygen and eat plants and return these nutrients to our organization. Very many lives can thrive through the same molecule over and over again and again.

Aquatic ecosystems are any water environment in which plants and animals interact with the chemical and physical properties of the aquatic environment. Aquatic ecosystems can be roughly divided into two types: marine ecosystems and freshwater ecosystems. The largest aquatic ecosystem is a marine ecosystem covering more than 70% of the surface of the earth. Seas, estuaries, coral reefs, coastal ecosystems are various marine ecosystems. Freshwater ecosystems cover less than 1% of the earth's land and are divided into wetlands and wetlands.

Animals and plants inhabiting the water are called aquatic ecosystems. They fall into two broad categories. Freshwater ecosystems exist in water containing low concentrations of salt, from ponds to estuaries. The marine ecosystem is in the salt water of the sea and the sea. Most of us are not far from certain aquatic ecosystems, whether in the ocean or in the local pond. The nature of the aquatic ecosystem is the same as that on land, determined by the availability of food, oxygen, main temperature. In addition to this, there is salt concentration. This is the salt concentration. Shallow aquatic ecosystems are the most productive in sunny areas. Water pollution usually arises from human activity and puts maximum pressure on aquatic ecosystems. For example, fish may be killed due to lake acid rain or lack of oxygen, where excess nutrients are thrown away in the estuary.

When acid rain flows into the water, the lakes and rivers can not maintain aquatic life. Acid rain affects ecosystem aquatic life habitats. As the lakes, streams and other freshwater areas become more acidic, the number and types of aquatic plants and other aquatic plants inhabiting these areas will decrease. Most plants now need a scrubber. Maintaining is very expensive, but they remove the maximum amount of sulfur dioxide after burning coal. In the scrubber, a toxic gas is sprayed with a mixture of water and lime, lime water, which produces a substance called sludge.
