Grow anything from a herb garden to a rainforest in your home.
WHAT CAN YOU USE BIOPOD FOR?
Current products are poor reflections of natural habitats.
They require constant upkeep and maintenance.
Biopod is an enclosed ecosystem that requires limited maintenance.
The Biopod App makes it easy to set up the perfect conditions for your pet's new home.
Biopod combines the benefits of an aquaponics system with the ideal conditions of a greenhouse right inside your home.
Just a few of the many things you can grow include herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, peas, etc… A great source for fresh salad and more!
Biopod will care for your garden, measure the soil conditions and tell you when it's ready for harvest. It will optimize growth for maximum production.
Biopod creates a beautiful and relaxing backdrop for your living space.
No time to take care of your plants? Biopod's automated, low-maintenance system will take care of everything from lighting to watering, while still offering opportunities to manually mist, seed or prune, if desired.
All you have to do is enjoy the pleasure you will receive from your Biopod!
A great addition for urban dwellers and seniors.
Biopod makes a great educational tool and is a fun way for kids (of any age!) to learn about nature and the delicate balance an ecosystem requires.
Add a reptile to your Biopod and watch the wonderment and joy it will bring.
Biopod helps to build an awareness not only of life inside the 'pod, but also of the sensitive environment all around us.
Biopod makes a great educational tool for visual and hands-on learning in classroom settings. Teachers and students can see different aspects of their environment including soil conditions, gas levels and moisture- all in real time.
Classrooms can share their Biopod data with other classrooms from around the world and collaborate on observations and best practices.
Studies show that these are benefits which can be reaped when greenery and nature are included in the work space.
Biopod has a sleek and beautiful design, which is compatible with nearly any office size and decor, and the fully-automated system makes it easy to care for.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If the Biopod is used as an animal habitat, how is cleaning handled? Is there water filtration for aquarium applications?The system is designed to reduce maintenance as it works like a self-contained ecosystem the regular misting helps wash any waste to the ground and this is absorbed by the plants. The entire back wall acts as a biological filter for all units including the AQUA, harnessing both beneficial bacteria and plant roots to clean the water, similar to a vertically designed aquaponics system.
Does the Filter in the Biopod AQUA ever need to be changed?
The biopod living wall filter does not need changing, as the plant roots penetrate throughout the wall it works like an aquaponics system, essentially filtering water from the aquarium continually. In addition, beneficial bacteria colonise the living wall unit that work in unison with the plants to filter and detoxify the water.
What are the Biopod tanks made from?
Ultra Clear Low-Iron Glass – 5mm to 6mm depending on the unit. This is a high end, high clarity glass that does not have the green tinge of typical terrariums. Helps keep our modern look consistent
What animals are compatible with my Biopod?
The app will give recommendations for animals based on the size of each unit. While there are too any options to be listed on this site, we recommend that you consult published literature on the topic if there are specific animals you are working with or plan to put in your biopod. Keep in mind that our substrate technology allows for a very thin aerated and actively cleaned substrate, so you may not need the height commonly used for traditional terraria, which often have 6 to 8 inches of substrate.
LED lighting specs. How many Watts, what is the spectrum?
We use 3W, high output LED diodes with a colour temperature of 6000K. The diodes are designed specifically to emit a natural light spectrum with peaks at optimal wavelengths to mimic natural sunlight, helping both plant growth and vitamin D production in your pets with output of both UVA and UVB. The basic system is 36W, and up to 90 watts on current larger models such as the biopod GRAND. Total Lumen output ranges from 3600 to 9000 lumens.
My terrarium at home gets too hot, too dry or too wet - how does Biopod cool or humidify without constant misting?
The system is capable of humidifying without misting, and precisely regulates internal humidity without causing the typical over watering that can occur in some systems. In addition, biopod uses evaporative cooling by mixing dry air with humidified air. This is the result of the integrated BioPUR system which utilises the action of oxygenating the substrate (with the combined effect of eliminating stagnation and humidifying the air), and a special active ventilation strip. And if you live in a hot climate or require special care for cooler species we have built biopod to accommodate a chiller unit, and this will be an add on at a later date.
What kind of Potting Soil / Substrate can be used in Biopod?
We are programming the app to give detailed instructions on setting up different habitats, as well as substrates that work best with different types of plants. In general, we recommend a base of coconut coir for most applications.
What is the Warranty like? What happens if something stops working?
Biopod comes with a 1 year warranty against defect for all parts. All components are accessible from the rear of the unit, and are designed to be easily replaced. If anything goes wrong, tell us and we will send you replacement parts. If anything goes wrong after the warranty has ended, parts will be readily available and inexpensive to replace.
Do I need a WiFi connection to set up Biopod? What happens if my connection is lost? Will biopod stop working?
A WiFi connection is required only for initial setup. After the unit has been programmed, it will continue to run these programmed settings continually. So no need to worry if you lose your WiFi connection!
