The Aquascape AquaBlox® Water Storage Module displaces water for use with Pondless Waterfall reservoirs, rainwater harvesting projects, and other various water feature applications. 

AquaBlox are manufactured using recycled materials and designed to efficiently maximize water storage capacity, providing the ability to hold more water with a smaller reservoir footprint. Each AquaBlox will hold approximately 7.4 gallons of water per cubic foot, allowing over 3 times the water storage capacity than gravel will provide. This extra storage capacity will mean less time needed to top off the reservoir due to evaporation. 

Using AquaBlox will also decrease the amount of labor, liner, and underlayment required during installation. The load-bearing top will support up to 5,472 pounds per square foot, providing years of trouble-free enjoyment and allowing for installation in a wide variety of situations. 

Aquascape AquaBlox are easier to clean, less prone to clogging, and come complete with the top, bottom, two sides and four structural supports.

29491 - Small 17 Gallon, 26.5" X 16" X 9.5"

29492 - Large 32 Gallon, 26.5" X 16" X 17.5"

Features

  • Over 3 times more water storage capacity than gravel - The AquaBlox Water Matrix can hold approximately 7.4 gallons of water per cubic foot. Gravel can hold approximately 2.2 gallons of water per cubic foot.  
  • Extra water storage capacity results in less routine maintenance topping reservoir to compensate for evaporation.  
  • Easier to clean and less prone to clogging than traditional gravel basins. 
  • Smaller Reservoirs! The ability to hold more water per cubic foot allows for smaller reservoirs. 
  • Less labor excavating the basin, as well as less labor moving the manytons of gravel for basin. 
  • Uses less liner and geotextile underlayment. 
  • AquaBlox are assembled on-site making transporting and installation extremely efficient

Question

How big do the rocks have to be so they don't fall in the Cubes?

Answer:

1” or larger. We recommend a 4”-6” layer over them then river gravel can be spread.

Question:

How do you calculate the required water amount required for a stream (going for pondless) so that when it is off there is enough water to start and flow without completely draining basin?

Answer:

Take the Length X width of stream X depth X 7.48 to get the number of gallons in stream and then double that volume for the basin volume. Then take basin volume and divide it by 16 (small Aquabloxs ) or 32 (Large Aquabloxs)

20’ stream 2’ wide would be the following:

20x2=40 X.25 (depth)= 10 X 7.48 (Number of gallons in cubic foot)= 75 gallons. You want basin to have twice as much so that it can be turned off and have plenty to restart without overflowing.

So that would be 150 gallons for basin. That would be 9 small blocks or 4-5 large blocks
