As promised, I just uploaded the video showing my self-sustaining aquarium’s evolution over 1 year. And it includes raw moments like this shrimp being eaten by a betta. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/e2h1toJzDYQ

Those of you who have been here the longest will remember my first projects: the outdoor pond aquarium and the first aquarium on the channel.

It’s now been a year since those projects, and I want to do an update. Which one would you like me to update?

A fish appeared in my latest jar made from a storm drain. This has never happened before, but it wasn’t the only strange thing to appear. Full video available now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m1SF...

Six months ago, a small crab sneaked into one of my experiments, hidden inside some seaweed. Over time, we’ve somehow ended up becoming friends.

I just uploaded a new video showing the evolution of this marine aquarium and the crab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9R9y...

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of my marine aquarium: A giant scud devouring a smaller scud alive! The project is coming along well, but I've had a fairly complicated week, so the full video will have to wait until next week.

Thanks for your patience. I want to make sure the video is worth the wait.

Also, I've recently started uploading my podcast to Spotify as an experiment. If you'd like to support my work outside of YouTube, checking it out there would help more than you might think: open.spotify.com/show/033njsEv4BTd8v5ZXrBUew

See you next week with the full update.

My ecosystem collection finally got out of control… so I built a giant custom shelf for all my jars, aquariums and paludariums.

This jar collapsed after one month… It doesn’t always turn out well. Today I’m uploading a project of a jar full of life, but with a sad ending... Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgoRx...

I found storm drain that releases sewage water when it rains. I just uploaded a video making a jar ecosystem with it, video here to see what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WslEk...

This little one is a Triops, a living fossil that has been on Earth for over 200 million years. It existed before the dinosaurs! I just uploaded a video raising these strange animals. Video here https://youtu.be/hrjm0XJRS7Q

Do you know what this is? It’s not from a science fiction movie. This Saturday, a new video drops where I raise these animals from eggs stored in a zip bag—and some incredible things happen!
