Ecosystem Tank, first blog

Ok so this is my first time ever making a blog so bear with me for a bit.

On November 3rd, 2008 I started a thirty gallon terrarium containing three lizards, two earthworms, fifteen crickets a fern, several pepper plants and some grass. The purpose of this project is to attempt to create a semi-contained, self sustaining food chain. Obviously, it can't be completely contained, because the lizards and the plants need the light and the water. and those are the only two things added to the tank on a regular basis. The light is provided by a Coralife aquarium lighting array and the water is added every six hours by a Zoo Med Habba Mist machine.

To date the only changes I've made are; I removed one of the original three long tailed grass lizards and she now lives in the five gallon holding tank. And I had to add fifteen more crickets at one point.

I'll be adding details and profiles as I go. Like I said, this is my first blog, so please bear with me.

Thanks, Dylan.
