Surprisingly almost nothing has changed! Only the mysis shrimp and giant ostracod thing (check my previous post) has disappeared (I cant be sure about the mysis as I swear I saw two this morning) Stupid little fireworm climbed the top of the glass and got shocked by the water condensation on the lid. It fell back down as tasty ecosphere nutrients. A brittle star juvenile and 2 species of tiny normal brown/white ostracods appeared around week 2 and they’re chilling around as of now. Feather duster worm population has increased from 2 to 4. Bryozoan populations increased slightly and I noticed some tiny fern bryozoan on week 2. Snail population has exploded and they have laid 4 pairs of eggs that are about to hatch (or hatched already) So my conclusion is using true plants in saltwater ecospheres greatly increases its chance of survival. See you later!
