(microbial diversity kit for aquarium, pond-in-a-bin, or pond) – instructions and booklet in French included
Are you going to create an aquatic ecosystem?
Is your aquarium becoming unstable?
This Zollabox helps bring water back to life; whether it is an aquarium, a pond-in-a-bin, or a pond, microbial biodiversity is what ensures its stability.
This kit allows you to seed your tanks and thereby initiate (or restore) all the biological cycles necessary for life.
Everyone who has started an aquarium knows it: you have to wait several weeks for the nitrogen cycle to begin and for life to become truly possible.
For water to support life in a stable way, numerous complex biological cycles need to become established. This requires a multitude of bacterial strains to transform an almost sterile environment (tap or reverse-osmosis water) into a true ecosystem conducive to life.
Recurring aquarium problems are more often caused by a lack of microbial species than by an excess. The more numerous the strains, the less likely one of them is to dominate the environment at the expense of the others. It is this complex balance that makes an aquatic ecosystem stable.
The Zollabox Start-Up kit is the result of decades of experience in natural aquariums and observation of aquatic ecosystems by Mattier.
It allows you to introduce into a new environment (or one impoverished over time) the thousands of living strains necessary for its future stability.
The Zollabox Start-Up kit is an original and innovative kit.
Based on the principles of natural aquariums, it helps stabilize aquatic environments by providing them with as many different aquatic microbial strains as possible.
To achieve this, it contains a special dose of biodiversity composed of live plankton, periphyton (a true library of aquatic ecosystems), daphnia, and ostracods from various species.
A sachet of Blackworm is also included: within minutes, their waste will provide a microbiome different from that of the crustaceans that are daphnia and ostracods. Paddy rice grains ready to germinate will produce different quantities of bacteria and protozoa.
Finally, the kit contains the French-language booklet "Getting Your Natural Aquarium Off to a Good Start" (Mattier, Aquazolla Publishing).
Using this kit amounts to passing on to your aquarium or pond the heritage of aquatic environments that are already diverse and fully cycled.
In this way, you provide your future ecosystem with an incomparable wealth of microbial biodiversity.
When you want to enrich your environment again (often after about a year), there is no need to buy another Zollabox Start-Up kit. Simply use the Zollabox Start-Up refill to renew the diversity of your environment, particularly if it becomes somewhat less stable.
