With EcoBio-Block, high water quality was retained, keeping water clear, clean, odor-free and healthy.

Water quality was tested in two identical aquariums, one with and one without EcoBio-Block, as well as our own pond.

Our in-house test

Every month, from November 27th, 2006 to October 3rd. 2008, a photo was taken of our home aquarium after adding EcocBio-Block. Maintenance was very minimal. As you can see, the aquarium water remained clear and fish healthy.

Fish Species: Longear Sunfish, Orange-spotted sunfish and Pumpkin Seed - 12 fish in 20 gal. tank, ranging in size from 4” to 7”. We started the tank with three plants, but the fish gradually nibbled them away, so we took the stumps out. We put background paper behind the glass for aesthetics. In June, we decided to add back a few plants for aesthetics (and for nibbling!)

Cycling a new aquarium with EcoBio-Block M

Aquarium ammonia removal is part of setting up a new tank. Every tank goes through the cycling process known as new tank syndrome.

Otherwise known as the nitrogen cycle, this process which involves the build-up of waste and then the subsequent build-up of beneficial microbes until a natural balance is reached, can take months to complete.

The end result is clear, healthy water for your fish. EcoBio-Block speeds up this natural process with its special strains of beneficial bacteria which disperse into the water every 30 minutes keeping levels of good bacteria high and quickly reducing aquarium ammonia and nitrites.

Here is our diary of a new tank set up with EcoBio-Block. The cycle was complete in 2 weeks.
