It requires no feeding or water changes and includes an LED-lit base for ambient lighting, plus a cleaning magnet and care handbook for easy upkeep. ## Description Small Pod EcoSphere (5.25" tall) with 4" LED lighted base. This fascinating enclosed world contains 3 to 4 marine shrimp, algae and micro-organisms. Made from hand blown glass, each EcoSphere is a completely enclosed, self-sustaining little world. The EcoSphere only needs indirect light and comfortable room temperature (between 60F and 80F.) The EcoSphere works on the basis that a closed system recycles its nutrients and does not produce excess waste. The shrimp consume the algae and micro-organisms and they, in turn, break down the shrimp waste. External light, either artificial or natural, keeps the algae growing. There is no feeding or water changes required. Each EcoSphere comes with a replacement, recharge or upgrade policy. This EcoSphere comes with a Silver 4″ LED base. The LED base is a non-rotating lighted display base for the EcoSphere that is powered by a wall outlet, USB connection, or 3 AAA batteries (not included). The LED can be changed to four different colors on a slow or fast pulse; or set to a particular color. The algae in the EcoSphere may overgrow if the LED base is left on for too long.

Review: Ecosystem ended bc Texas froze over - Purchased this amazing ecosystem June 2020 after seeing a TikTok and immediately became intrigued once it arrived. Enjoyed every day of it being here until February 2021 when Texas decided to freeze over for the first time in states history.. anyone that watches the news or has ears/eyes knows how bad Texas weather was for us during February 2021. We lost power in our house for almost a week, hot water as well so unfortunately we couldn't maintain the required temps needed to keep the ecosystem alive. It lasted longer than we personally anticipated considering our wacky weather here. We WILL be purchasing another one, probably the larger one at that. I highly recommend one of these to anyone that loves live decor. It brightens up the room and doesn't require much upkeep nor electricity at all. Review: Great gift idea - We got this for my mother-in-law and she was in love. The small pod is a perfect size and a unique shape. I don’t think I would get one for myself, just because it doesn’t feel right to keep shrimp in a closed sphere like this, but that’s my personal view and nothing against the product itself. It’s beautiful, and the stand is great for growing algae away from direct sun. ## Features - Comes with care handbook, cleaning magnet, and LED lighted base - No feeding required - No water changes required - Hand-blown glass - Contains live shrimp and algae ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074HLYFCL | | ASIN | B074HLYFCL | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Brand Name | EcoSphere | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (178) | | Date First Available | August 2, 2017 | | Included Components | Care handbook, LED lighted base, Small Pod EcoSphere | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Aquatic Ecosystem | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Item model number | SP/LED BASE | | Manufacturer | Ecosphere Associates, Inc. - DROPSHIP | | Manufacturer | Ecosphere Associates, Inc. - DROPSHIP | | Material Type | Glass | | Model Number | SP/LED BASE | | Product Dimensions | 3.5 x 3.5 x 5.25 inches; 1 Pounds | | Product Style | Modern | | Unit Count | 1 Piece | | Warranty Description | Each EcoSphere comes with a 30 Return Policy.

All the little shrimps were alive and they’re still doing well! The light up base doesn’t only come with a white light, but it also turns other colors as well if you want it to. This is an amazing gift and i would highly recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/45986847-closed-aquatic-ecosystem-small-pod-with-led-base](https://www.desertcart.at/products/45986847-closed-aquatic-ecosystem-small-pod-with-led-base) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
