The EcoSphere Self-Contained Saltwater Ecosystem

The Original EcoSphere is the world's first totally enclosed ecosystem - a complete, self-contained and self-sustaining miniature world!

Unlike lower quality imitations, the Original EcoSphere is the most advanced sealed saltwater microcosmic world, harboring shrimp, algae and bacteria in a balanced, symbiotic environment. Requiring no feeding, The Original EcoSphere is easy to care for, and serves as an incredible learning tool that can provide powerful insights about life on our own planet... and provide a glimpse of the life sustaining technology that may shape the way we design and restore ecosystems.

But an Ecosphere is much more than a scientific breakthrough. It is a work of art--a living treasure to own or give to someone special. Each EcoSphere is carefully crafted to achieve an aesthetic, meditative beauty that can soothe any environment, including home, classroom or office.

EcoSphere Accessories

We offer large and small turntable bases as EcoSphere accessories. Shown above left is a large turntable base, suitable for large and extra large spheres. Shown at right is a small turntable base, suitable for pods, medium and small spheres.

We recommend the use of a small lamp for office cubical type areas where the lights are turned off during the weekends, or any area that will be dark or cold for long periods of time. Small florescent lamps can be purchased at most hardware stores.

EcoSphere Replacement Policy

Each EcoSphere comes with a Replacement Policy. Should all the shrimp die for any reason during the replacement period, Ecosphere Associates will replace the unit promptly.

Recharge Policy

Even if you have an old EcoSphere, you can still have it recharged. If the EcoSphere Replacement Policy expires, and the shrimp have died, it can be recharged by returning the old EcoSphere to our office and paying the recharging cost. The recharge fee must be paid to process the request. For details contact our office.
