Product Description
EcoBio-Stones are volcanic rock and cement containing 100% pure beneficial bacteria spores, which effectively clarify cloudy water in aquariums, reducing maintenance. Simply rinse off the EcoBio-Stone, soak overnight and place in aquarium. Using nature's system of purifying water, EcoBio-Stone's beneficial bacteria break down organic waste into ammonia, then into nitrites and then into nitrates, which are processed by vegetation or by anaerobic bacteria changing the nitrates into nitrogen gas, which dissipate into the air. The process of building sufficient amounts of bacteria to take care of the conditions in the average tank, normally results in crystal clear water in 2 to 4 weeks, with a sudden clearing of the water. EcoBio-Stone safely purifies water, eliminates odors and creates a clear and clean environment for fish and other aquatic life. EcoBio-Stone's volcanic stone also leaches back the essential calcium and trace minerals, which are normally returned to water with frequent water changes. This dual action creates a perfect ecosystem. Note: if the water in your tank is very acidic please use EcoBio-Stones after acclimating your fish to pH neutral water by doing water changes.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So that was overview and now have another large male with popeye again building past 2 weeks so attacked with new substrate (3 different levels) water changed, new filter pads and continued to get worse to point he’s now hiding and just matter of days.. So I bought this rock figured worth a shot since medicine never works just waste money and stress on fish and only success with 1 over years.
I know long review but worth the understanding of environment. 2 days in with this filter rock and he’s better, eyes clearing and he’s back out vibrant. Not sure how it works but for any fish lovers this is a must bio rock and I will never have a tank without! Even other fish seem happy swimming like youngsters again. Waters been clear so don’t see a difference but underlining water quality must be perfect for them.
Just amazing!
UPDATE: want to give update since I can’t believe what’s happened and might help alot of fish lovers out there.
The Cichlid with Popeye for past weeks now is just about back to normal after 4 days since adding this bio rock. I don’t know if these results are typical, cleaned a particular issue in water or if it was just an added part to water change and complete filter substrate replacement or what but I have never been able to cure Popeye in 8 yrs doing the same things minus this bio rock so this is the first and in 3 days!! He’s back swimming, eating, playing with others, eye swelling and eye fog gone! I’m still in shock but at the least this rock can only be helpful in any tank with fish imo so hopefully it helps others.
And for placement I actually suspended it ontop of a long decorative hollow tree about mid tank level so water can circulate completely around the whole rock to maximize water contact.
Highly recommend.
