wow. sounds like everyone is bashing Stacey for either not thinking practically enough and being too humane. in my opinion the world needs more people to ask more questions like this, instead of more nasty analytical thinkers that discourage these questions. i dont have an opinion about these ecospheres because i dont know enough about them, but lets not discourage people like stacey from asking questions like this. Huh? I don't see any nasty responses or bashing on the alt.aquaria side of this thread. Of course, I have the local troll killfiled so maybe I missed something. I'm surprised you would call analytical thinkers in general nasty, though. I'd hazard a guess that you just insulted a pretty good number of people in both cross-posted newsgroups, me included.

Only one person is bashing Stacey, thewes was sticking up for her.
Apparently the loudmouthed troll didn't appear in your reader. -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/200302152...qs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq

Well, as far as I can tell (and I've read most of the website, plus info from related sites) it seems to be a fair setup. I don't know how much a shrimp can understand things, but I see food, oxgen, and a nice habitat. That is what we provide for our pets, and as long as you don't mistreat them (ie: shake the crap out of them) I see no problem.
But it is nice to see people are concerned over things like this. A bad example of something similar is the betta with a plant. Instructions are to not feed the betta because he eats the plant. Very limited ecosystem, as bettas are not herbavores. And the plant can cover the entire top of the water. Big no-no for bettas. I think the EcoSphere has at least been well thought out, unlike other things. ::cough... betta in a vase... cough::

RFLMAO. Erm, what's a BioSphere? BioSphere 2? Earth? The only impracticality to an EcoSphere is how to get rid of the thing when everything entombed has expired and is festering. Ewww! Nikki

I'd love to see a 100cm diameter version of this. But where would you put it? In your living room, maybe us it as a coffee table? Hey, anyone seen a coffee table aquarium? Hmmm, wouldn't want all those mains wires straggling across the lounge though, lol. Nikki
