Howdy! I have made a similar post to the Myriapod forum as for help on this concept, but to reiterate, I am making a project for my AP environmental science for me and my class to study the effects of pollution on an ecosystem. This thread is a revised edition of the prior one, as before, I did not know the difference between live Sphagnum moss and Peat moss. So the setup has the following organisms;
The restrictions are as follows
If there are any alterations to this required for it to be as educational, resourceful, and fascinating as possible, I am open to suggestions. Thank you for reading this.
- Lithobiomorpha Forficatus (Stone Centipede, Common Centipede, Brown Centipede)
- Trichorhina tomentosa (White Dwarf Isopod)
- Peperomia Pellucida (Shining Bush, Pepper Elder, Crab Claw Herb)
- Live Sphagnum moss (Peat Moss)
- Acheta domesticus (Brown Cricket, House Cricket)
The restrictions are as follows
- 300 dollars max budget
- Only have 2 glass tanks
- Finding some resources is discouraged, as to have a more standard environment (leaf litter is probably as good as it gets)
- Having a rather small starting population
- Constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit
- High humidity
- Poor air flow (tank will be sealed)
- Attempted water cycle inside via transpiration from plants
