**Title:** Building a $10,000+ Minecraft-Inspired Ecosystem for Lime's Birthday
**Summary:**
* The creator is building an elaborate, multi-level Minecraft-themed ecosystem for Lime's birthday, featuring a lush cave and a rainforest with real plants and animals.
* The project involves:
+ Designing and building a custom, leak-proof tank (~$2,000 in acrylic)
+ Creating a miniature model to plan the layout
+ Adding various flora and fauna (e.g., aquatic plants, ghost shrimp, roly-polies, wingless flies)
+ Incorporating water and lava features, including a flowing waterfall
+ Simulating real weather patterns with a programmed system
* The ecosystem is finally completed after overcoming various challenges, and Lime's reaction to the gift is captured on the birthday reveal.
