I'm a Marupa boy and tgis has easily become top favorite up there with marupa. My dart frogs love hiding in the spiral leaves and have even had egg laying on the thick hardy flat ones. Highly reccomend for longer lasting leaf litter that withstands higher humidity.
Haven’t added fish yet but love the look of these, the copepods seem to love them and they add natural caves.
I had no idea whatI was getting and why it looked like a rock, but its in my tank and I dod research so now I know what to do once it starts to grow :)
They offer a unique look for anyone trying to create a swamp look.
Arrived fast and looks amazing in the aquarium. Love the fern botanical look the provide
I originally bought the ecosystem kit but like all good things I ran out. So happy Ben offers these builders! Arrived on time, botanicals amazing (as always) and my tank is looking more like a swamp.
As a seasoned aquascaper I feel the need to post this review. Ben’s customer service was thoughtful and attentive. He helped me build my biome builder for my specific types of fish (Ivanacara Bimaculata. Buying here feels good.

The starter pack turned my tank into a cozy little paradise for my fish and they love it! I enjoy watching all the activity as they forage and swim around . If you’re aiming for that natural vibe in your tank this pack makes a huge difference.
Have had these before to provide hiding spots for my bettas and they love them. Super durable and provides plenty of tannins what’s not to like. Highly recommend these pods for purchase.
Nicely packaged and releases concentrated tannins quickly. Tinted my ten-gallon aquarium very deeply after about ten minutes, with hardly any change to pH. Very pleased! :)
I got the forest floor builder instead of a kit because i wanted to choose my own wood, and i was not disappointed! I havent set up my tank as i am waiting for gravel and heater to arrive. But i am beyond pleased with the selection i received.
My whole order (first order ever too) was amazing. I got two pieces of wood, and theyre stunning. Not sure if the photo is uploading correctly but i guess we'll see.
This pod is HUGE, like unexpectedly huge, which I suppose would make sense for the price, so I'm super happy with everything! Meant for my small 11 gallon, but definitely going to be much better for my larger 110 gallon.
It was a large ice pack but arrived warm with the rest of the package warm.
It was a little rough when it arrived. About half the mesh was brown. I have it in a grow out basin with ramshorn snails to try and rejuvenate it before using it in my shrimp tank.
I purchased alder cones initially to help safely and gradually decrease my water hardness. As it turns out, my Betta is totally intrigued by them! They provide great engagement for him, and he is constantly investigating them and searching for food along the stems. Something about them seems to trigger an instinctive response in him and their presence adds to his quality of life. And as a bonus, they beautify my tank and help add to the natural aquascape I’m striving towards. Definitely recommend.
My Betta loved this from the moment I added it, and it’s now his favorite place to hang out. I love the way it looks in the tank, and that it provided a natural environment for my Betta. The inside is smooth and Betta fin friendly, and provides ample space for him to swim in and out. Prep was easy and the directions were fantastic. I soaked the pod for an additional 24 hours with a weight to hold it under water and get it really water logged. When I added it to the tank, it easily sat on the bottom and didn’t float up at all. Highly recommend!
This kit is a great way to start botanical aquariums. Ben went out of his way to make sure I had something that would work for my unique tank. Would highly recommend for beginners.
