Great tiny Eco System. I saw this post on Reddit

Here's his comments:
Get the biggest cookie they have at Walmart 10 bucks. Get the smallest little pump you can find that is no more than 70 GPH 50 is perfect. 5 lbs of live reef sand from pet shop. 3 lbs of live rock from a good saltwater pet shop. The most expensive part is the light $70 par38 21 watt LED reef light. No filter just a small filter pad on the pump intake. Weekly 50% water change with Red Sea coral pro salt and purified RO drinking water. Make sure the water is exactly he same salinity and temp as the water in the jar. Use a digital thermometer to check temp. to warm it up take a clean cup and put a cup of your mixed saltwater in the microwave for 30-50 secs do this until you get the water up to temp. Absolutely no fish allowed in the jar that is the most golden rule. Rule number two is spot feed corals sparingly only twice a week one big feeding an hour or so before you do the water change. No protein skimmer no sump just good light, circulation and low invert only bio load with frequent water changes to replace minerals.
 
I believe this may be the tank that inspired the people on my first forum to do a "Nano Jam" where you basically just make a bunch of tanks out of w.e container you think will hold some critters. Pretty cool idea to do here, but I don't know how if many people want another tank :p
 
Oh dam i thought it was one of those water jugs its a dang cookie jar lol. With a clam in it hes mad
 
same id as pj's reef in a jar idea, there tons of these if u go browse nano-reef, I would suspect the clam hasnt been in there the whole time/ wont last long. i'm pretty sure xenia would grow and take over my toilet bowl if i didnt push the flush lever :-P
