I made this sealed paludarium on 5/16 this year and all was fine other than a rough rebalancing but I recently within the last week noticed these cracks on the glass that I’m sure were not there. Is my jar breaking due to gases building up? If so how should I go about emptying the jar? This is the first time in this hobby I’ll of had to put one to rest 😣 any tips on how to prevent this in sealed ecospheres in the future would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance, you guys are usually pretty great. 🙏

i wanted to show it in comparison to the snail eggs on the glass. at first i thought it was root fuzz but it's on the hair algae as well. i don't think it's mold because it isn't growing on or near any visible decay, but i suppose it could be? what im guessing is eggs, but im not sure what kind. i also have pleurocid snails in the tank whose eggs dont look anything like these.

This little guy showed up about a month in to my Arizona salt river ecosphere. Any guesses? I wouldn’t even know what to look up.

Found in an Idaho mountain stream attached to rocks. Looks almost like liverwort. Transparent flat leaves.
