People Also Ask
What are expanded clay pebbles? Are clay pebbles and clay balls the same?
Yes! Expanded clay pebbles and clay balls refer to the same kiln-fired natural clay product. Ekta Eco clay pebbles are made from high-quality local clay and manufactured in Indore, MP, offering global standard performance.
Can I reuse Ekta Eco clay pebbles?
Absolutely. Ekta Eco clay pebbles are infinitely reusable. Simply rinse them with clean water between uses, or heat-sterilize for complete pathogen removal. This makes them extremely cost-effective long-term.
Will clay pebbles change my nutrient solution pH?
No. Ekta Eco clay pebbles maintain a strictly neutral pH 7.0. Being chemically inert, they will not alter your nutrient solution chemistry — safe for all hydroponic and aquaponic systems.
How many litres do I need?
For a standard 12-inch pot, you need roughly 5–8 litres as a growing medium or 1–2 litres as a drainage base layer. For a 50L hydroponic channel, 50L is typically needed. Available in 25L and 50L bags — contact us for custom bulk orders.
Are Ekta Eco clay pebbles safe for aquaponics with fish?
Yes. The pH-neutral, chemical-free formulation is completely safe for fish. The high surface area of pebbles also supports beneficial nitrifying bacteria crucial for a healthy aquaponic cycle.
