Ecosphere - Totally Enclosed Ecosystem is a completely self contained and self-sustaining miniature world. Because the living resources within the EcoSphere
utilize their resources without overpopulating or contaminating their
environment, the EcoSphere requires no cleaning and only minimal care. It provides a wonderful example for your grandchildren of the possibilities for our world if we would strive to keep it in ecological balance. It is easy to care for, educational, and will hold a child's interest. Inside each EcoSphere are active microorganisms, bright red shrimp and algae; each existing in a clear “soup” of filtered seawater. Because the unit is a self-contained ecosystem, you never have to feed the life within. It’s easy to care for too, which mom and dad will surely appreciate. Simply provide the EcoSphere with a source of indirect natural (or artificial) light. Click on the picture for more information about the Ecosphere. |
