ZollaBox Eau Claire XL: natural solution against green water (large aquariums and ponds)
What is the ZollaBox Eau Claire XL?
It is a large-format green water control kit based on the plankton food chain: you protect daphnia inside the Zolla'Clear XL so they filter the microalgae responsible for green water. This way, they can work sheltered from the fish's appetite. Chemical-free, reusable with refills, and delivered with live daphnia, a net, and instructions. Aquazolla innovation (2019).
Suitable for ponds or aquariums of 300 liters and more.
Why use the ZollaBox Eau Claire XL in a natural aquarium or pond?
- Eliminates green water naturally: daphnia filter the suspended algae that give the water its green color.
- Respects your ecosystem's balance: zero chemicals, no microbial "shock." Indeed, killing suspended algae is dangerous.
- Turns a problem into a resource: algae feed the daphnia, which in turn provide live food for the fish. Green water ultimately feeds the fish!
- Ecological, economical, and reusable: carefully store the Zolla'Clear XL after use and restart with a simple daphnia refill if needed.
- Simple and educational: show the plankton chain "for real."
Who is the ZollaBox Eau Claire XL for?
- Aquarists facing green water in aquariums over 300 liters or in ponds.
- Natural ponds and aquariums of 300 liters and more.
- People seeking a biological approach rather than using sometimes dangerous biocidal products.
- Educational projects (plankton cycle, ecological balance).
Introduction and usage tips
- Place the Zolla'Clear XL in the tank or pond and introduce the provided daphnia.
- If needed (too many active fish, current...), attach it to a support (glass, wire, stake, sturdy plant stem...) with a clip, for example.
- Let it work: the daphnia gradually filter the green water until clarity returns. They reproduce, the older ones die and lay the next generation.
- The time needed varies depending on the intensity of the green water, volume, number of daphnia, temperature, light, etc. Usually between a few days and several weeks.
- Close the chain: once the water is clear again, take some daphnia to feed the fish.
- Reuse: store the Zolla'Clear XL. In case of recurrence, order only the ZollaBox Clear Water XL refill (new daphnia) and start again.
FAQ - ZollaBox Clear Water XL
How long does it take for the water to become clear again?
Depending on the algae density and volume, the improvement is gradual: the daphnia work continuously until the water becomes clear again. It usually takes a few weeks, sometimes less.
Do the daphnia survive with the fish?
They are protected inside the Zolla'Clear XL. Outside the device, fish eat them (this is intended to close the chain at the end). If the fish are too vigorous and restless, just fix the Zolla'Clear XL with a simple clip (clothespin...) to a solid fixed point (glass, sturdy plant stem...). They won’t be able to knock it over!
Can the box be reused?
Yes: it is reusable. Store it carefully after use, and simply get a refill to add daphnia if it needs to be used again.
Difference from a chemical anti-algae product?
No toxicity, no microbial imbalance, and no water changes needed because a mass of algae was killed at once. This is the biological way. Algae are transformed into live daphnia, not dead waste that heavily pollutes the aquarium. No plants suffer.
Does it also work in ponds?
Yes, planktonic logic applies in aquariums as well as ponds.
