Have you ever wanted to be the god of your own little world? Do you like aquariums but find them too costly or too troublesome? Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a pond?
Look no further! Patrick Grubbs guides novices and experienced aquarists alike through the steps of creating a self-sustaining aquatic ecosystem! It's dead simple, and easily achievable without spending any money. You will learn how to create a miniature aquatic ecosystem - a "jarrarium" - which can be used a decorative piece or viewed as a science experiment. Along the way you'll be forced to endure the author's humor as he tries to impart knowledge of ecology on the reader. If you're not interested in the science, you can skip to the section that details construction.
Jarrariums make an excellent project for kids, or an awesome conversation starter. If you lack the space or the money to maintain a full aquarium, jarrariums are the best way to get your feet wet.
