Re: [APD] Self-contained tanks

[Raj <rajendrakumargg at gmail_com>]

Thats exactly what we are on planet earth (we are destroying it inside out!) with the only source of heat and light: ol' Sol.

Seriously we should be able to miniaturize the sealed aquarium with all our science and knowledge. How can we simulate a complete environment in the small size? This is a challenge for the collective knowledge of this group..

>Most of you have probably seen Bioglobes before (http://www.beachworld.it/index.php?id=212). If not, they're air-tight glass globes with some algae and a few shrimp, apparently in the proper balance to keep on going so long as they get light.

I imagine I could maintain a good balance with some snails, if only because I won't care if they'd die, but it would be more interesting with some fish.
