"We love the results we are getting from your products. She especially likes the fact that they are by far the easiest and most carefree products to use. No more hassling with all those chemicals to get the new tank to cycle!! Just drop your product in and wait 2-4 weeks and bam the tank is cycled. We are both amazed!! Thanks so much for a wonderful product".

Clear Water - Healthy Fish!

Aquarium and Pond Cycle and Maintenance Made Easy With EcoBio-Block Family Products

Just place an EcoBio-Block in your fish tank or pond and speed up the nitrogen cycle. In weeks, you can enjoy the benefits of clear water, healthy fish and lower maintenance. EcoBio-Block Family Products make fish tank and pond care, easy and fun.

How to Use EcoBio-Block Products

  • Rinse EcoBio-Block well with chlorine-free water.
  • Soak in chlorine-free water overnight.
  • Place in tank or pond near airstone or where water flows.
    (EcoBio-Pebbles can be placed in the filter box or at the bottom of a tank).
  • Extra EcoBio-Block products may be necessary (depending on the amount of water, water conditions, and/or number of fish in tank or pond).
  • As water evaporates, replace as usual.
Notes:
  • EBB bacteria clarify cloudy water. EcoBio-Block products DO NOT eliminate inorganic matter. To remove inorganic matter, you will need a mechanical filter system.
  • It DOES NOT eliminate algae or green water, but it does help to keep these problems from starting.
  • Replacement is suggested approximately every 1.5 to 2 years depending on conditions (pond product will last up to 3 years).
  • EcoBio-Block Family products improve water quality, but they do not restrain the growth of aquatic weeds.
  • EcoBio-Block will start working in approximately 2 - 6 weeks depending on the condition of the tank, the water, the amount of fish, the temperature etc. NOTE: Several people have reported results in 2 to 3 days.  Very rarely, it has taken a few months.
  • When treating water with medication, please remove EcoBio-Block and store in chlorine-free water. Replace after medication is gone (can be stored dry, but will take longer to start again).
  • IMPORTANT - Please do not use EcoBio-Block nsM or Wave in your aquarium. They are not suitable for the delicate balance needed in aquarium tanks.

After placing EcoBio-Block in the tank or pond, it may take weeks for the water to stabilize depending on tank or pond size or in other types of water features or under varying conditions. To be certain that the water has stabilized, test water quality.
