Hello!

Hello this is my new blog, it is also my third blog. (You don't want to know what happened to the other two) I figured I should start my first post with some info on a current project I am working on.


BIOSPHERE





The pictures you see above, were taken in the local woods, unfortunately this water is where most of our sewage is dumped, but luckily the water remains clean enough for sludge sampling which I will put in a jar. Why? For my current project: A Biosphere. The concept is very simple: Put various species of animals, or otherwise into a jar, add some type of food source for said animal, factor in other organisms for waste management, oxygen reproduction, and BAM! You have a Biosphere. The main object of a Biosphere is to see if the test subject you have placed in your environment will be able to survive within it's new sealed, and closed off habitat. The particular subject for this experiment, or "Econaut" as they're sometimes called will be an Amano Shrimp, I did not come up with this myself, but read about it in the Projects section of a very interesting magazine called MAKEzine, if you like to tinker with stuff, and make cool things look it up in Google.
Anyways back to the status of my experiment, I will not unfortunately be able to list all of the required materials for this experiment (*cough*lazy*cough*), but i will tell you that I have not yet bought my Econaut, but will hopefully vist a local Fish store tomorrow, and will purchase it, along with a few other needed items. Biosphere lab out.


I think that's enough of the Biosphere for now. Well........ I'm gonna go play World of Warcraft (Anvilmar server, name's Tunahunter for anyone who also happens to play). Bye! see ya tomorrow!
