More information

Inside each EcoPod are active micro-organisms, bright redshrimp and algae, all in a solution of clear filtered sea-water. Since the EcoPod is a self-sustaining ecosystem, you never have to feed the life within. Simply provide your EcoPod with artificial or natural light and enjoy this aesthetic blend of science, art, beauty and balance.

Because the creatures in the EcoPod use their own waste to support the system, without overpopulation or pollution of the environment, the EcoPod requires no cleaning and minimal care. EcoPods have an average life expectancy of between 2 and 3 years. However it is not uncommon for shrimp populations to be thriving in systems as old as 7 years. The manufacturer in the USA, has manufactured this ecosystem for over 20 years. Their collection contains many EcoPods which are older than 10 years. Most of which still contain living shrimp.

Out of this research came the EcoPod – an ecosystem of animal and plant life in perfect balance. For more information on how they work, please see How They Work
