Bottle Biosphere Guide Online
Report prepared as a comprehensive guide for educators, hobbyists, and students interested in closed ecological systems.

When balanced correctly, these systems can survive for years with zero maintenance, cycling water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in a perpetual loop. Bottle Biosphere Guide
