Just learned there is a Opae ula display in New York. It has been there since 1999 in a huge ecosphere.

They must have a way. Wonder if the original ones in 1999 are still there, if so that makes at least 20 yrs old!

I always have thinked that the failure of the ecospheres its due to his size, in a larger water volume its totally plausible a self substaining ecosystem

Woah that's pretty cool actually! Sealed in 1999. 20 years old and still going strong as it seems. There is even a little algae on the glass if I interpret this correctly :sidesmile: Do you think they have a magnetic scraper in there :smile:

This tank is kinda similar but smaller. Expensive though.

Mr. OUR thinking about a new tank? :smile:

Mine only cost about $ 40 for about 5.5(?) gallon / 21 l. That price is mad... :what:
