A desktop ecosystem that uses Mint or Basil to filter water

The EcoQube is a desktop ecosystem designed for the lowest maintenance possible so that you can

spend more time enjoying and less time cleaning. However, proper care is essential to ensure a

healthy and functioning ecosystem.

Notes of Caution:

• Always keep pump inside filter (highlighted) submerged

in water when filter is running.

• Always unplug filter first before lowering water level

below its water chute or removing it from aquarium.

• Don't consume plant grown from filter. Many chemicals used in aquariums can be extremely

harmful if consumed.

How to Maintain Your EcoQube:

• Wait at least 3 weeks before introducing any fish to aquarium. Start off with 2 small fish (white

cloud minnows or zebrafish recommended) and slowly add more as plants grow. Limit each

aquarium to 5 small fish to avoid overcrowding.

• Feed only what fish can eat in 10 seconds 1-2 times per day.

• Don't remove filter cover until plant has grown in or else plant will fall and roots will rip.

• Raise LED light (holding side without wire) as plant grows. Trim leaves if plant no longer fits

beneath light at its highest setting. Always be sure to leave at least one set of three leaves intact

when trimming.

• Add more plants (Java Ferns and Anubias recommended) inside aquarium to promote natural

filtration.

• Detoxify 2 gallons of water with 1 ml of "Refine" water conditioner.

• Top off aquarium with RO/DI water or bottled water only to ensure there are no extra minerals in

water. Filter is not compatible with salt water since it was designed for plants like Basil and Mint

that can only grow with fresh water.

• Make sure water level doesn't fall below water chute on filter. Replenish evaporated water at least

once a week. Don't stir soil or sand when adding water.

• If filter gets clogged, remove filter cover, take out sponge,

and rinse sponge in conditioned water. Remove any

debris on bottom of filter and place sponge back into filter.

• For extra clarity and cleanliness, turn on UV sterilizer* when introducing new fish to aquarium to

get rid of microbes, unwanted bacteria, and algae.
