ZollaBox Eau Claire XL: a natural solution for green water (large aquariums and ponds)
What is the ZollaBox Eau Claire 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 the fish’s appetite. Chemical-free, reusable with refills, and supplied with live daphnia, a net, and instructions. Aquazolla innovation (2019).
Suitable for ponds or aquariums of 300 liters or more.
Why use the ZollaBox Eau Claire XL in a natural aquarium or pond?
- Naturally eliminates green water: daphnia filter the suspended algae that give the water its green color.
- Preserves the balance of your ecosystem: zero chemicals and 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 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 Eau Claire XL intended for?
- Aquarists dealing with green water in aquariums larger than 300 liters or in ponds.
- Natural ponds and aquariums of 300 liters or more.
- People seeking a biological approach rather than using biocidal products, which can sometimes be dangerous.
- Educational projects (the plankton cycle, ecological balance).
Introduction and usage guidelines
- Install the Zolla'Clear XL in the tank or pond and add the daphnia provided.
- If needed (if the fish are too active, there is a current, etc.), attach it to a support (glass, line, stake, sturdy plant stem, etc.), for example with a clamp.
- Let it work: the daphnia gradually filter the green water until it becomes clear again. They reproduce; the older ones die and lay eggs that produce the next generation.
- The time required varies depending on the intensity of the green water, the volume, the number of daphnia, temperature, light, etc. Generally, it takes between a few days and 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 recurs, simply order 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, improvement is gradual: the daphnia work continuously until the water becomes clear again. 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, fish eat them (this is intended to complete the cycle at the end). If the fish are too vigorous and restless, simply secure the Zolla'Clear XL with a simple clip (clothes peg, etc.) to a sturdy fixed point (glass, strong plant stem, etc.). This way, they cannot knock it over!
Can the kit be reused?
Yes: it is reusable. Store it carefully after use, and simply get a refill to add daphnia again if it needs to be used again.
How does it differ from a chemical algaecide?
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 planktonic principle applies in aquariums as well as ponds.
