EcoSphere Closed Aquatic Ecosystem, Small Pod, with Turntable Base

Small Pod Ecosphere (5. 25″ tall) with turntable base. This fascinating enclosed world incorporates 3 to 4 marine shrimp, algae and micro-organisms. Made out of hand blown glass, every Ecosphere is a fully enclosed, self-sustaining little world. The Ecosphere only needs indirect light and comfortable room temperature (between 60F and 80F. ) The Ecosphere works at the basis that a closed system recycles its nutrients and does not produce excess waste. The shrimp consume the algae and micro-organisms and so they, in turn, break down the shrimp waste. External light, either artificial or natural, helps to keep the algae growing. There’s no feeding or water changes required.
