More information

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

Because the creatures in the EcoSphere use their own waste to support the system, without overpopulation or pollution of the environment, the EcoSphere requires no cleaning and minimal care.

EcoSpheres 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 EcoSpheres which are older than 10 years. Most of which still contain living shrimp.

The Ecosphere is the result of technology developed by scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA was researching self-contained communities for spce explorers to live in during long-term space flights. Out of this research came the Ecosphere – an ecosystem of animal and plant life in perfect balance. For more information on how they work, please see How They Work
