Collection: Give life to my basin

Having a garden pond in full health by restoring natural cycles, simply by introducing the biodiversity it lacked.

The ponds in our gardens generally have an incomplete biological cycle due to a lack of biodiversity. Technology awkwardly tries to compensate for this lack, but it remains necessarily much more imperfect than a complete natural cycle.
"Between the sediment at the bottom and the fish that live in our ponds, the biological cycle is often interrupted, or even non-existent."

In nature, every dead leaf is broken down by bacteria and fungi, then consumed by water lice, ostracods, worms, or amphipods, whose droppings will then allow unicellular algae to develop, which will feed daphnia or other aquatic crustaceans. And all these little creatures are the natural food for your fish.
In nature, no one comes to distribute industrial extruded tablets to fish!



A living pond, as long as it is not excessively populated, must therefore be able to host a thriving biodiversity. This biodiversity is the condition for the resilience of any natural environment, aquatic or not. Its absence is the cause of extreme phenomena such as green water, uncontrolled proliferation of a single species (algae for example), or the deadly eutrophication of the environment ("stagnant" water).

Properly managing a decorative water feature therefore starts with introducing as many animal and plant species as possible to ensure a complete natural cycle, which guarantees a balance of all biological phenomena... and thus your peace of mind.

We offer, in addition to the ZollaBox Démarrage (microbial biodiversity) and Eau claire XL (to limit green water), a number of ideal plants for our climates (water mint, purple loosestrife, marsh iris, water lentil...), but also detritivorous invertebrates that ensure the natural recycling of waste and algae, such as the famous water lice, and various snails like the friendly bladder snail or the famous ramshorn snail.

The key word must be: more life, more diversity, for a more resilient basin.
