Introduction: DIY Marimo Ball Habitat Tank!

About: I love to make things! I am constantly finding new things to make and do. I love geeky stuff like Sherlock and doctor who.
whoever has marimo probably knows that they come from dark, cold rivers that are constantly moving them.
i wanted to recreate that habitat for my marimo to keep them as healthy as possible.
here is a VERY easy way to make the tank.
ITEMS for need:
All Living Things Critter tote in size small, it looks like a cricket keeper.
waterfall moter, I took apart my broke desktop fishtank from thinkgeek and used that.
5 volt cord, if you are using the desktop aquarium moter, change for a different moter.
big pebbles
marimo
TOOLS:
dremel
hot glue

Step 1: Dremel a Hole in the Critter Keeper.

dremel the hole  just big enough to put the wire through.
(have an adult do this)

Step 2: Hot Glue the Hole With the Cord

make sure you glue it good. on both the inside and outside.
(have an adult do this)

add the pebbles,water  and marimo.

Step 5: Watch It Go!
