Hey guys! It’s Nora. I thought I would share a literally tiny experiment I started about two months ago. Basically, I received a jar a little bigger than a quarter (maybe it holds an ounce, idk) and decided to put some sand, water, and a little algae from my reef into it. I did not think it would work, but turns out that it is doing just fine! Fast foreward a few weeks and I notice a spaghetti worm and some copepods swimming around. All the creatures are still alive. The only thing I have done since its creation was add a pellet or two smaller than the head of a pin a couple weeks after its creation and a tiiiiiiiiny bit of distilled water as top-off. I want to know if anyone else has tried something like this, and if I am correct in my thinking that it is currently the tiniest in the world!

It would be interesting to see if let's say a single Zoa would live there. Secondly - it would be interesting for you to send an ICP sample (at the end of the experiment) - to see whether the cap - (obviously metal - looks like Aluminum) has caused a change.

That is a good idea! I do not think I can afford an ICP atm, I’m a broke college student, but I did not consider the effects of the lid, it was a very good point. For all I know it could be aiding in its survival!
