It would certainly be easier to answer "What did you already know" before you started this. Nothing.
This list will inevitably be incomplete but here goes:
And probably another 1000 things.
Hmm. Any specific terrariums you want an estimate on or the entire thing?
Edit: Nevermind. I'll just give you a rundown of what I bought. Don't be scared off by the price, just start small. I recommend the Super Mix Moss from Appalachian Emporium to start you off, some cheap pot soil at home depot, mesh for the filter, pebbles/driftwood from outside and glassware at a thriftshop or wherever. Though I think getting springtails might be a must to keep the habitat clean from mold and such. Overall, it should cost you no more than $30-40 depending on what you get. I just happened to go overboard these past two months :)

That's a pretty neat.
Do you currently have a terrarium, and if so, how much light does it get? My only concern is that type of grass probably likes full sun, so it may need to be by a bright window and/or supplemental lighting to be happy. This can easily roast plants however (especially in smaller closed containers), so make sure it is ventilated or doesn't get too hot.
If you want to know specifically how to set up a terrarium, its pretty easy.
You don't need any fertilizer, and I like using a dose of Superthrive if it looks like my plants are struggling.
You could also grow the sod in a container within a larger terrarium if you only have a little bit. If you want a baseball theme, you have plenty of creative options (like using a cubs helmet as a container, etc.).
open container like a fish bowl or a dish?
Moss: Useful for ground cover and if you are going for a woodland look, definitely add moss such as
Alternatively, you can use
These provide good ground cover with more texture and faster spread (about 30 cm in 30 days with the right conditions)
Where to get them? Ebay, Amazon etc.
Ferns: Also great additions!
Colour: Some people prefer to add some colour using plants like:

I bought my moss from Amazon. I was worried about the Arizona heat during shipping, but it came quick and very green and lush.
Lowe's doesn't know terrariums. What they are good for is the dried Sphagnum Moss, rocks, and other accoutrement you'll need for making a terrarium.

Is the seller I used. The thing I was really stoked about is that they don't use pesticides. So in my terrarium, I actually have live bugs and at least 2 earth worms in mine. Also, there is some kind of plant growing in my moss. Must've been some seed that dropped on it, but it's really awesome that I got it for "free".

This is when it first sprouted, but it's huge now. I'll get a picture later if anyone wants it. I'd also like to know what the heck it is.
Hey thank you! You're exactly right-- I chose Sylvania Light Flutes because they were easy to install and pretty cheap. Our area is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to terrarium fodder, so good luck out there!
this is the best info source I've found on the web:
http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/terrarium/msg091303116460.html
and this book from the 70s is full of good info:
http://www.amazon.com/Terrariums-Miniature-Gardens-Sunset-Gardening/dp/0376037814
I got it as a present so unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly but I think it was from Target.
Edit: Lol! I just searched "jar" on Amazon and I found it!
Hmm. Hard to tell from a still photo, but it doesn't look like you'd need more than a ~60 gph pump.
Yeah, here you go. 66 gph, 12V. Just wire it into something like this.
> I didn’t do a full album because of all the mistakes I made building it
Frankly, that's far more educational for the rest of us than a project that goes smoothly :)
Have you tried aquascape equipment? There’s thin and long scissors and tongs you could hold paper towels with.
There’s better deals than that btw it’s just the first thing that popped up
Maybe using water beads would help retain the moisture for longer. They're usually used in flower vases, and are nearly invisible when submerged.
Nice work, moss is the hardest imo. Keeping them moist enough, especially in a non-closed environment is tricky to say the least!
I notice you seem to be watering with a spray bottle... one thing I've found handy for avoiding water on the glass is to water with a long needled syringe...
something like this => https://www.amazon.com/Syringes-refilling-Refillable-Cartridges-Continuous/dp/B006DN11DS/ref=sr_1_49?ie=UTF8&qid=1481153534&sr=8-49&keywords=syringe
https://www.amazon.com/Fairy-Lights-Timer-Ultra-Silver/dp/B0060ARKOS
Maybe something like the above.
Amazon. Here's the link. My wife says the jars at target are the exact same though.
H Potter Wardian Case Terrarium 504 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C4E9O2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dGyhAb19WXHTP
Quite pricey though. There are some others from the same company (H Potter) also on Amazon for <$100.
Sounds like you may be seeing [water retaining gel balls]('Aqua Crystal' Expanding Water Storing Gelhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B007K6HEJM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_402QybVMRV7JE)
They've always seemed interesting/useful but I've never tried them!
Edit: on mobile, not sure if link is working but it's for a product called "aqua crystal"
Oh I'm getting this plant to start with :3 http://www.amazon.com/Adult-Sized-Venus-Flytrap-Carnivorous/dp/B005L9YN6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1419530497&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=venus+fly+trap
I seeded them! The package said they would sprout in 3-5 days, but it actually took about a week and a half. At this point it's been just about a month

This guy has a bunch of info including how to make an Upside-Down Terrarium. Personally, I've never had the patience to babysit the glass while it freezes.
I used one of these and a bent piece of wire to plant mine. It takes a LOT of patience.
