ZollaBox Clear Water XL: natural solution for green water (large aquariums and ponds)
What is the ZollaBox Clear Water XL?
This is a large-format green water treatment kit based on the plankton food chain: you protect daphnia inside the Zolla'Clear XL so they can filter the microalgae responsible for green water. This allows them to work safely away from fish appetites. Chemical-free, reusable with refills, and supplied with live daphnia, a daphnia net, and instructions. Aquazolla innovation (2019).
Suitable for ponds or aquariums of 300 liters and more.
Why use the ZollaBox Clear Water XL in a natural aquarium or pond?
- Eliminates green water naturally: daphnia filter the suspended algae that give the water its green color.
- Preserves your ecosystem's balance: zero chemicals and no microbial “shock.” In fact, killing suspended algae is dangerous.
- Turns a problem into a resource: algae feed the daphnia, which in turn provide live food for fish. Green water ultimately feeds the fish!
- Eco-friendly, economical, and reusable: store the Zolla'Clear XL carefully after use and simply get a daphnia refill when needed.
- Simple and educational: demonstrate the plankton food chain “in real life.”
Who is the ZollaBox Clear Water XL for?
- Aquarium keepers dealing with 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 biocidal products, which can sometimes be dangerous.
- Educational projects (the plankton cycle, ecological balance).
Introduction and usage tips
- Install the Zolla'Clear XL in the tank or pond and introduce the supplied daphnia into it.
- If needed (overly active fish, current, etc.), secure it to a support (glass, line, stake, sturdy plant stem, etc.), for example with a clip.
- Let it work: the daphnia gradually filter the green water until it becomes clear again. They reproduce; the older ones die and produce the next generation.
- The time required varies depending on the intensity of the green water, volume, number of daphnia, temperature, light, etc. Generally, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
- Complete the cycle: once the water is clear again, collect daphnia to feed the fish.
- Reuse it: store the Zolla'Clear XL. If the problem returns, simply order a 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, improvement is gradual: the daphnia work continuously until the water becomes clear. It generally takes a few weeks, and sometimes less.
Do the daphnia survive with the fish?
They are protected inside the Zolla'Clear XL. Outside the device, the fish eat them (this is intended to complete the cycle at the end). If the fish are too vigorous and active, simply secure the Zolla'Clear XL with a basic clip (a clothespin, etc.) to a solid fixed point (glass, sturdy plant stem, etc.). This prevents them from knocking it over!
Can the kit 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.
How does it differ from a chemical algaecide?
There is no toxicity, no microbial imbalance, and no need to change the water because a mass of algae was killed all at once. This is the biological approach. The algae are transformed into live daphnia, not dead waste that heavily pollutes the aquarium. No plants are harmed.
Does it also work in ponds?
Yes, the plankton-based principle applies in both aquariums and ponds.
