Is there ever an exchange of air between these closed systems and the outside world? To me, if there is no outlet to allow air out and fresh air in, it is a time bomb for a poisonous atmosphere, no matter what is contained within.

I would take what you read on google with a pinch of salt lol, i was banned for suggesting to people to do water changes if the shrimps start acting strange/uncomfortable from spoiled water. :smile:

edit: great post by the way @Wander

I can see it working with an established tank and sealing it with proper lighting. One opae ula to a gallon of water would be a safe bet. :wink: :wink:

Anyone find the article/reading about NASA sending our friends to space?

Yup i read about NASA, when i was a young-en i was bought one of these biospheres and it had a big NASA sticker on it advertising that this setup went into space! It was by a company called Beachworld, I think they are still around today.

I don't. :grin: I don't approve of the closed eco system torture chambers. I can cite many scientific references, but life is too short, so we can agree to diagree.

I tried googling and searching the Nasa site but couldn't find any articles.
