  I’m a little disappointed that when assembling the polyudarium, non-natural materials are used for the base and wall, foam rubber, glue and silicone, which take up so much space. Natural materials (peat, soil, drainage, or wood with stones and just a little wire for rigidity) could perhaps bring more balance and benefit to the system. But this is the first impression, the first thought that came to mind. I'm not an expert in this at all, I'm just trying to understand how such systems work.

  I totally agree that can be beneficial! One of my main aims was to keep the weight of the structure as low as possible. Incase I need to move it out of my apartment in the future. As far as the foam etc everything is aquarium safe and as long as you let the chemicals gas off from curing you won’t have any issues. The entire back wall is now a giant moss wall that’s about an inch thick.

  Do the walls of the jar fog up from water? Do you ventilate the jar? I made a similar colony, but as soon as I close the jar, after a short time the walls fog up. Is this normal? Should I add some moss or charcoal? Or reduce the water from below?

• 
  @alternateaquaticsКүн бұрын

  I’ll sometimes get a little fog. It could be the temp is too high. Usually when it fogs up after a couple days the water will condense enough to form water droplets that will run down the side of the glass. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Just open the jar every 3-4 days and sprinkle in some high quality fish food flakes! You’ll be good! 👍🏻

  @lettaletta5178Күн бұрын

  @@alternateaquatics Thank you very much for the answer! Now it fogs up less, but I open the jar often and try to see my bugs, but, unfortunately, they like to hide. I have fish food, but I heard that they feed it a mixture of nutritional yeast and dried ground mushrooms (1:1). There is enough protein and vitamins, and this mixture does not become moldy. I will try two options. How long does it take to reproduce? Some bugs are still small and need to grow. Doesn't mold grow if you put in too much fish food?

• 
  @alternateaquaticsКүн бұрын

  Just sprinkle in enough for them to eat in about a day. They’ll come out of the soil to eat it, do you have a drainage layer? If you see them bunched up on top of the water it means they’re reproducing. They grow up in about 2 weeks

  That was a dust mask (n95) you put on to spray the foam, which is a chemical. If you're actually worried about breathing in the fumes you need to get a respirator that has cartridges graded for chemical fumes. If you can smell something through your mask it's not protecting you
