Encased in lab-grade ultra-thin glass, it includes sterile artificial gravel, mineral-dispensing shells, and eco-friendly artificial gorgonia. The system sustains itself through a balanced cycle of algae and microorganisms, pioneered by NASA technology. A magnetic cleaning tool ensures easy maintenance, making it a captivating, low-effort living decor piece and a unique gift. ## Description This is a self-contained ecosystem. It is made of: - Glass: our glass is otherwise used in laboratories. It is as thin as possible, but as thick as necessary to ensure the best possible look. - Water: Salts, minerals and microorganisms are perfectly matched to the life of the shrimp in the ecosystem. - Gravel: we use artificial gravel. Why? It is more sterile and lighter. This makes transportation for the shrimp much safer. - Shells: there are a few shells in every ecosystem. These do not necessarily serve as decoration, but are included in the system as mineral dispensers. - Magnet: there is a small magnet in the glass. With the help of the outer magner, found on the manual, you can clean the inside of the glass. - Gorgonia: the branch in the glass is called a gorgonian. In order to avoid damaging coral reefs, we have decided to only use artificial gorgonias. The gorgonia still serves as a seat and feeding ground for the shrimp, because the microorganisms also like to settle here. - Algae: every ecosystem contains green thread algae and brown surface algae. You don't necessarily have to see both. Both types of algae serve both as an oxygen supplier and as a feed dispenser for the shrimp. - Microorganisms: tiny bacteria take care of the "waste recycling" in the ecosystem. The shrimp also like to eating the microorganisms. - Shrimp: The number of shrimp depends on the size of the system. The shrimp are actually only beneficiaries of the cycle that functions without them. The cycle is intact even without shrimp. Our shrimp are either bread in our tanks or flown in from monitored pools in Hawaii. A manual with an external magnet is also included. Review: PERFECTION! - I have ordered these gorgeous ecospheres three times. They have always arrived in perfect condition. The shrimp are always healthy and thriving. I ordered the latest one for my husband’s birthday- it is the dead of winter here and COLD! I worried about them arriving alive. There were two hand warmer type heaters in with the perfect packaging and everything was a-okay! I LOVE this company- their products are the highest of quality and absolutely beautiful! All of the ecospheres that I’ve ordered have lived way past their usual lifespan. Thank you for great products and service! Review: Highly recommend! Fragile but a great gift - Absolutely love these! The shrimp are so cute and become like pets for children. The glass is very thin so much he handled carefully. The customer service is amazing! They called to let me know it was being delivered because of a snow storm, and when the glass broke they shipped a new one right away.
