** Winner - Most Potential Value **
Test Tube Terrarium
By Joe Powell
The Test Tube Terrarium idea was a complete accident. I had gotten the test tubes because I thought they looked cool. I eventually decided to put plants in them because my roommate had two he kept as dorm pets. A friend suggested also putting fish in, since they are the only animal pet allowed in dorms. Adding the UV light ensured that the fish and plants would flourish even in a dorm room, which in most cases is void of all natural light during the winter.
In addition, I've already had 3 offers to purchase the TTT. The unique shapes and UW design make the TTT an attractive display for fish and plant life. Not bad for a bunch of old chemistry junk.
What is the 100-Hour Challenge?
Contestants have 100 hours to take their best shot at doing something entrepreneurial from Wednesday, February 18, 2009 to Sunday, February 22, 2009.
They only can spend $15 at the UW SWAP Sale to find their components. UW SWAP (Surplus with a Purpose) is a campus unit that sells surplus university equipment, ranging from athletic gear to lab equipment.
The winner for each of the following categories will receive a $300 cash prize: * Most value (money) generated * Most social value generated * Most creative
In addition, a $100 Peoples Choice prize will be awarded to the contestant whose entry is accessed/viewed online by the most people.

A great video, and a great idea! Thanks for posting. Just a quick question; what type of UV light did you use? It looked sort-of like an IR rather than UV but I figure maybe it's a mixed UV-Vis bulb? Just curious, thanks!

Retarded idea.. Fucking stupid.. The fish will clearly become unhappy about the lack of space and become sluggish due to the stress..That is also the shittiest terrarium I have ever seen..

@Naizgroth Your eloquence is remarkable, though you obviously did not understand the point of the whole project. Thanks for getting so riled up about a video that I made 2.5 years ago with $15 worth of junk.
