Happy New Year EcoQube C Backers!!!
The holidays are over and it's back to reality for EVERYONE.
If only the cold could also go away...
Yep. For people in the north, snow already came.
While it's easy for us humans to get warmed up, it can be a different story altogether for conventional aquariums.
You might have to...
...check if the heater is still working
...set the temperature
...try to keep the room as warm as possible
Otherwise, your tropical fishies may be a bit...
It's a good thing that we have some add-ons that can help you with this.
You can get the heater (for US Backers)
aquarium heater
Your tropical aquatic friends will thrive in the balmy 78 degree Fahrenheit temperature even in the surrounding winter chill. It's also very convenient because it fits in the EcoQube C filter area.
You’ll want to know if the temperature is just right. That's why we also have an aquarium thermometer that you can use. You will know how accurate the temperature in your EcoQube is by looking at the thermometer.
We hope that you can keep your EcoQube warm this winter.
Our friends over at GROBOX have engineered a cool, soil-less, hands-off, self-watering hydroponics greenhouse system called the GroBox One which does it all for you. CLICK HERE to find out more!

Air Filtering, Tank Filtering, AND Low Maintenance?! This plant has you covered!

Hey EcoQube Enthusiasts,
Just wanted to check in on you and hope that you’re all having an amaaazing holiday season!
As you know, we’re always experimenting.
We experiment to find cool new methods of hydroponic and aquaponic usage.
We experiment to further learn about how we can live sustainably, and take care of this big, beautiful Earth that we all live on.
And we also experiment to help you obtain the best results with your EcoQubes.
We’ve tested a LOT of different plants in our EcoQube Cs, and one of the more successful and beneficial tests has been with...
As mentioned in our blog post above, NASA needed a method of cleansing air aboard the International Space Station.
They performed numerous experiments with different plants, and published their findings on most effective houseplants for air purification in their Clean Air Study. The plants listed in this study were found to remove the most formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air.
And guess what plant was found amongst their list?
If you’d guessed ivy, then you’re smart! �
If you want some fresh air in your residence, then ivy, or particularly the Golden Pothos would be a huge addition to your lineup of plants.
We all love clean air, but we also love clean tanks.
One problem that can exist within an aquaponics environment is when your plant reaches the end of its life cycle, and you have to replace it with a new one.
If too much time passes when you’re switching out your old plant for a new one, then your tank may have a little bit of buildup.
For the most part, Golden Pothos completely takes care of this problem!
They are one of the hardiest plants that exist. They’re extremely hard to kill, require little attention, and can grow like crazy. They’re a fantastic plant for beginners to start out with, and can help you avoid those pesky plant changes.
Check out how awesome our ivy looks in one of our EcoQube Cs below!
Just to recap…
Ivy, in particular Golden Pothos, is an amazing air filtering plant that will thrive in your EcoQube C for a looooong time!
Golden Pothos is one of the best plants that you can choose to grow to provide you with some fresh, clean air. And it’s one of the easiest plants to grow, and will likely have a very long lifetime.
To get started with your Golden Pothos...
Simply stick it straight into your empty net pot making sure that the roots reach the water level. No plant medium is needed!
You should start to see it grow relatively quickly assuming that you already have fish in your EcoQube C :)
Have you done any experimenting yourself? Let us know what’s worked for you in the comments below!
Cheers,
Rax

3 Ways the EcoQube C+ Will Change Your Life
almost 7 years ago
– Wed, Dec 06, 2017 at 05:02:45 PM
Hey EcoQube Supporters!
A lot of things can change our lives.
And a lot of things can’t.
So yup, we think what we choose to buy is important because it affects our lives one way or another.
Here at Aqua Design Innovations, we’re not into creating fizz products...products that kind of just die out as you realize how unpractical or uncool they are.
NAW, we want the best and only the best!
With the creation of the EcoQube C+ we want to help revolutionize your life and change the way you think. We want to inspire you simply because you have inspired us.
We think the EcoQube C+ can change your life, in a good way.
How?
Here’s three ways:
1) It gives you power to bring awareness of aquaponics to your community.
The EcoQube C+ was created using the same principles that the EcoQube C was created with. In whatever way you and I can, small or big, we can spread awareness about sustainable design and aquaponics. The EcoQube C+ will change your life by giving you a fresh, creative approach to purchasing products.
Aquaponics is inventive because it turns waste into a resource. Regeneration of resources is indeed possible! The EcoQube C+ utilizes an aquaponics system to turn fish waste into fertilizer for plants.
2). It allows you to bring the calm of nature indoors, improving your overall well-being.
We’ve heard from EcoQube C enthusiasts that their aquarium has brought them so much joy and peace in their home and work environments. Living spaces can become very dull, very fast, so it helps to have nature liven up one’s surroundings.
For those who work, whether in an office or from home, having nature around boosts productivity, as plants have a restorative effect on our brain.
No matter what living space we enter, we are affected by the air we breath and the aesthetic of our environment. The EcoQube C+ can breath life into your living spaces, lifting your mood and increasing your creativity as you grow one step closer to nature.
3). It accents your home or workspace as a beautiful piece of living decor allowing you to express your unique style.
Style speaks volumes, but style with function is even better. The EcoQube C+ will change your life in the way it offers a way to beautify your home, while still functioning as a home for your fish and personal garden. It is living decor at its finest, pure and simple.
We can’t wait to bring the EcoQube C+ campaign to fruition, and eventually, spread awareness of aquaponics by allowing people like you to have access to get one for your home, work, or school spaces.
The EcoQube C+ is a product with multiple uses, and with multiple uses comes that much more gratification. We invite you to be a part of our community and we believe by joining in, it might just change your life. ;) Don't wait too long though, there's ONLY 8 days left in our campaign!
Cheers,
Anna

What's the difference between the EcoQube C & C+?
about 7 years ago
– Thu, Nov 16, 2017 at 07:38:53 PM
Hey EcoQube Fans!
Soo, we’ve introduced the brand new EcoQube C+ to you.
But you might still be wondering, what’s the difference between the EcoQube C and the EcoQube C+?
Well…
You asked us if we could make the EcoQube C bigger, so guess what...
We did! The EcoQube C+ utilizes a larger, elongated fish tank with more room for creative designs (like recreating the Disneyland theme park in your tank?), and space for small schools of fish.
You asked us if there was a way to incorporate more plants in your EcoQube C, so guess what...
We listened! The EcoQube C+ will have 3-5x the space to grow your dream aquarium garden!
You asked us if you could grow other plants besides basil, mint, and green onions, so guess what....
We thought, heck yes! The EcoQube C+ will give you the option of growing your very own nutrient rich micro-veggies like broccoli sprouts.
You didn’t ask us about making a removable filter basket, but guess what…
We wanted to make maintenance easier for you by allowing you to easily remove the filter basket and pump that is underneath (which works to clean the water with carbon and circulate it).
You also didn’t ask us if we could free up room in the tank, but guess what…
Since there are more plants filtering the water utilizing hydroponics (growing plants without soil), there is less filter space needed! PERKS UPON PERKS!
We think we’ve had a lightbulb moment with the EcoQube C+ and oooh, you’re going to want in on it!
Great ideas are meant to be shared, and we’d like YOU, a lover of living decor and supporter of sustainable design to be the first select group to reap the benefits of this great idea that you helped create. There's only 28 days to get your very own EcoQube C+ at a discounted cost.
