Yes. I received an official patent for AquaBed on September 4th, 2018. (See my patent below.)
AquaBed is available on eBay listed under aquarium plant soil. I am planning to sell AquaBed through wholesalers and retailers in the near future.
AquaBed is a self-contained aquatic plant earth bed, made up of a fiberglass screened bag that allows plant roots to penetrate the inner paper sleeve full of nutrient-dense soil.
Just follow these simple steps:
One AquaBed is roughly 5" x 6" in size. You could fit 10 AquaBeds in a 10-gallon aquarium, covering the entire bottom. The number of AquaBeds you choose to put in your tank depends on how many plants you want in your aquascape.
Limit to 3 or 4 individual plants per AquaBed.
No. Over time, the soil in AquaBed hardens and becomes a solid mass, so it won't ooze out and create a mess in your tank during cleaning, soil replacement, or when you add more plants above it.
AquaBed feeds and sustains aquatic plants for 3+ years. In my test aquarium, AquaBed has lasted 8 years and counting!
Adding AquaBed to your aquarium will guarantee a healthier ecosystem and happier fish. Healthy live plants help achieve the right nutrients in the water, and small fish will have a place to hide and feel relaxed in a natural environment.
