walstad

Hello all. Not had a tank for some years and we've finally moved into our new house, but it will take about 6 months to do the work on the house and decorating. In the meantime I've set up a little experiment. I found an 11 litre vase at IKEA today and had an idea, so then went in search of...

Hi guys. Its the end of the first week...well, just over actually. Things seem to have progressed well. Lots of growth and filling out. Water has tinted a bit but thats to be expected with this method. Anyway, here is the video:

Its 60mm at its deepest and the sand cap is a similar depth at...

So for a while now I have wanted a small tank on my desk, I already have a high tech setup shrimp tank and a 70L tank that is EI dosed and tended to. I have been reading a lot about Walstad bowls and was really interested in how they work so decided to setup one myself. Although I strayed from...

I am looking for a decent bowl to do a walstad setup with to put on my desk. Can anyone recommend me somewhere I can buy one or know of a decent quality bowl online? I looked at one in Tesco for £6.50 but the glass was really thin.
