Aquablox Modular Water Storage System (Small)

I bought these to use on my Koi pond. We needed to cover it to prevent the kids from falling into it. We stacked them up and then covered the top with flagstone to make our pond into a pond less water feature… we left the bubbler and sump pump in place. Now we gave a water feature without the dangers of a pond for small kids or pets. The plastic material and pattern on the cages makes it pretty strong, we can walk on top with ease. These gave worked out perfectly for us.

I’m using it to keep water lilies at the right depth in my fountain/koi pond, and it’s perfect for that. It’s transformed my pond—my koi spawned! (Check it out—I’m a poet and I didn’t know it.) I guess all they needed was a little privacy.

I ordered this item to covert a pond/ stream to just an endless stream. Easy to put together and very sturdy! I read that some say it only goes one way, but per instructions you should have all 6 sides of the box supported. So, it doesn’t matter what side you place the box, just make sure your hole is snug, then used large heavy rock around it to secure the box. I was happily surprised it came with geotextile fabric too! The fabric was placed directly underneath the box and the RDPM rubber liner; original fabric is under the liner itself. Photo shows unfinished project before filling it with 2”-3” rock.

These blocks are sturdy once assembled, and they interlock into each other. There is some excess flashing, but it won’t affect my use case. I like the fact there will be a large void space while retaining structural rigidity.

Got them quick. No instructions but fairly intuitive. I got two large and three small. They assemble together easy enough. One thing to watch, and I suspect the cause of many to complain about broken tabs, is if you tap the verticle side pieces on with the base on top, with tabs on the floor, they could break. Just need to be careful not to put pressure on tabs while assembling. Of all five boxes, only one tab was partially cracked on delivery, which was no big deal. No tabs broke during assembly. I got these for a reservoir for a pondless waterfall. They are simply, sturdy, mostly empty voids in which water can be stored for a water pump. You could just use rocks, but they would take up more space and lessen the amount of water in the resevoir. Once I put them in my reservoir hole, I have walked on them, carrying a hundred pound boulder to boot. They did creak occasionally, but seem strong enough. I gave it a four star instead of five because the openings could be smaller to prevent gravel from entering them. Not sure why I should have to buy more material to cover them to prevent this. I will cover the tops with a screening material of some kind to prevent small gravel pieces from entering them although most of the stones I use will be big enough to not go through the openings.

Great product

Great price for lots of water storage. I built a large stream with only 2 small aqua blocks for water storage, and I would run through half of it in a day just to evaporation and splash-out. Purchased two of these and tripled my water capacity. Very sturdy and well made like the smaller ones. Does the job for a very reasonable price.

Used this for a pond less water feature, worked as advertised, easy to put together and very strong, will be using more in the future

Created a pump/barley straw pellet housing for my pond with this, who ever designed this it made my day easier

Tel que convenu

Are using them for our new pond

Not strong enough when you make a hole for the inlet water.The remaining features are perfect.

It did the job for us, very sturdy and size is good for our fall's base.
