Re: [GSAS-Member] Fun Present

Having a live shrimp in there after seven years sounds pretty good. The 
torture-sphere
thing sounds like some pointlessly bitter hyperboly. People say a lot of wacky 
things
on their websites, but I doubt that the average person could keep a tank of 
shrimp
going for seven years ... or even a year when you get right down to it. We 
should worry
more about those poor Sea Monkeys (note: just kidding).

I have a small Eco Sphere. It started with 3 shrimp. Today, about 7 years
later, there is one left. Hey, I think I should name him!

I would like to see the alarmist claims vetted scientifically, for example,
analyzing the water quality from a sphere that has been in use for a long
time.

It's not an ideal environment, but don't know that I would call it a
"Torturesphere."

I have accidentally caused much more grief to higher life forms in my
aquariums, I think.
