Check this out!  

Talk about a NO maintenance shrimp tank or bowl or glass ball.  

Tiny shrimp live off the tiny algae that grows and produces a o2 <-> Co2 exchange. Oh and Microbes. It's a just add light system.  Life expectancy 2-10 yrs.

A guy at work had one of those. I used to stare at it all the time. It is pretty wild.

 

Yikes! About as exciting as watching the grass grow, eh? Am I missing something?

 

Maybe more like watching paint dry Craig... LOL just kidding actually looks cool. a little expensive though specially for me with the exchange. But what am i saying... is there something thats not expensive in this hobby???

Not a chance!

 

I love those things... saw them before we moved to florida.
They are really cool on the living room table, were just a little too pricey for me.

 

Those are so cool! I wonder how their made without killing everything?

I've always wanted one of those things but the price tag is way too high.....I could spend that money on something for my reef tank!
