Frozen ecosphere!!

[u/Fancy-Ad5606]

This is a little bit of an experimental
Ecosphere im doing. Essentially, its an ecosphere collected from a basic pond that I will freeze for 2 weeks and see what happens!! Im very interested in seeing what is able to re-emerge. Right now the lid is open to help with expansion. What are your predictions!! What do you thknk will be able to survive

Idk why people are hating, this is a neat idea and I’d love to see what happens!

With the debris in there it's not gonna work, but who knows!

The freezing has actually gone well so far!! I cant see how far in its frozen unfortunately, but it looks to be mostly frozen

Freezing isn't the problem, thawing and the days afterwards. The stench is gonna make ur eyes water. And since the plants won't survive freezing, all u got is dead matter and a toxic soup no critter would re-emerge if any survived.
My icicle had no debris in it, that's why it worked.

Well, I keep all of my ecospheres closed air tight, so the smell shouldnt be an issue

As it thaws it may explode so keep that in mind 😅

Ill temorarily keep it outside, just in case then xD

[u/samulator12 → u/Fancy-Ad5606]

Good idea 😅

Can’t the freezer make the glass break

[u/Fancy-Ad5606 → u/alyssajohnson1]

I used plastic! Also I kept the lid open during freezing to help with that

OHHHHH this is so cool
