Easy Life Products Now In South Africa

Posted By : Guest

As most aquascapers and reefers know it is important to have good and healthy plant and coral growth in a tropical or marine aquarium. Since 1998, Easy Life in the Netherlands has produced high quality aquarium and pond products that distinguish themselves in the market. Their university-educated specialists have years of experience in keeping aquariums and, as a result, combined their practical experience and knowledge to produce many innovative products.

Thanks to the excellent reputation of Easy-Life and the excellent effects of its products, the products are now available in more than 40 countries, including South Africa mostly due to word-of-mouth advertising. The products are now no longer only used by hobbyists, but also by retail traders, wholesalers, zoos and importers and exporters of fish and corals. All Easy-Life bottles come with measuring caps making dosing very easy.

Water Treatment Products

Easy-Life Filter Medium is the most versatile water treatment product on the market. It can be used to make water crystal clear. It is used for water preparation, as well as a maintenance product, a stimulator (e.g. for plant growth) and a prophylaxis (to prevent infections). It effectively solves a wide range of freshwater and saltwater problems. Furthermore, it is made from 100% natural products and is extremely safe to use. Easy-Life Filter Medium (Easy-Life FM) is a unique product which greatly simplifies the keeping of fish, plants and invertebrates in freshwater and marine aquaria. Easy-Life FM does not only make the water crystal clear, but also produces healthy, active and colourful fish.

Easy-Life AquaMaker is a powerful, fast-working water conditioner and makes aggressive tap water immediately suitable for all freshwater and marine aquariums. AquaMaker can also be used in reef aquariums and garden ponds. It is absolutely safe for all fish, plants, corals, shrimps, snails and the biological filter. AquaMaker removes chlorine, removes chloramines, removes heavy metals like copper, zinc and lead, binds and detoxifies poisonous ammonia, binds and neutralizes toxic nitrite, binds and neutralizes nitrate, destresses fish and protects the mucous membrane and gills of fish. AquaMaker has no impact on the pH, KH or GH. Furthermore, AquaMaker will not overactivate skimmers.

Easy-Life EasyStart is a natural filter starter. Its objective is to quickly purify and stabilize the water when cycling a new freshwater or marine aquarium, so that it is suitable for fish. EasyStart is a unique combination of highly active bacteria cultures. The unique bacteria carrier ensures an accelerated increase in useful bacteria, so that, for example, the creation of poisonous nitrite can be avoided. It also helps to reduce the effects of harmful bacteria and rids the water of heavy metals and other chemical contamination. The result is a healthy aquarium with lively fish which have vibrant colours.

Plant Food Products

Easy-Life ProFito is an all-in-one, universal plant food which is suitable for all water plants in aquaria. The composition of ProFito ensures strong, healthy and lush plant growth. Thanks to the optimal composition of the ingredients, plants have everything they need for unhindered, strong and lush growth.

Easy-Life EasyCarbo is an extremely powerful and effective carbon source for aquarium plants. It also actively combats and prevents the growth of algae. Carbon (in the form of CO2 dissolved in the water) is one of the most important nutrients for optimal plant growth. If there is a lack of carbon, plants are not able to optimally assimilate and grow. As a result of this deficiency, plants stop growing and no longer compete with algae for the nutrients. If this carbon deficiency lasts for too long, then plants start to leak sugars and other nutrients which attract algae. As a result, leaves become covered in algae and look unattractive. EasyCarbo is the solution to this problem. After approximately two weeks of using EasyCarbo, plants visibly grow better and look better. This is particularly true of swamp plants (Cryptocoryne sp., Echinodorus sp., etcetera). A s a result of the increased competition for nutrients, algae find it very difficult to survive and, in most cases, they disappear altogether.

The use of ProFito and EasyCarbo is the right combination. Plants require more than just carbon. Trace elements are also essential. Since their presence cannot be precisely measured and we, therefore, do not know which trace elements are present in the water, ProFito is the ideal solution to enrich water with trace elements in the most complete way.

Easy-Life Ferro contains easily absorbable iron for water plants. Iron is essential for the good development of plant leaves. Iron ensures that the leaves are green thanks to the creation of chlorophyll. A lack of iron results in the leaves turning yellow, which is known as chlorosis. Ferro helps to prevent this problem. If there are fast-growing plants in an aquarium, then there is a good chance of iron deficiency. In that case, it is recommended to add Ferro to prevent problems.

Easy-Life Nitro and Easy-Life Fosfo are used to compensate for a deficiency of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), respectively. A deficiency of these macronutrients immediately leads to faltering growth or even to growth arrest. A shortage of N and P can quickly arise in plant aquaria that contain very few fish or no fish at all, because very little or no fish feed is used. Together with fish excrement, fish feed is the most important source of N and P. A deficiency can also arise in aquaria with a very high density of plants. Nitro (which contains nitrate NO3) and Fosfo (which contains phosphate PO4) immediately compensate for these deficiencies.

Algae Treatment

Easy-Life AlgExit tackles algae that are produced when a aquarium is not well balanced. Causes of an unbalanced aquarium are the excessive feeding of fish, too many fish in an aquarium, excessive lighting or excessive fertilization. You also take them home when you purchase fish or plants! AlgExit is a safe and effective product for combating almost all types of algae in a freshwater aquarium. Algae, such as beard algae, brush algae and filamentous algae, are effectively wiped out. AlgExit is easy and economical to use and harmless to fish, shrimps, molluscs and plants. The algae growth is first brought to a standstill and then it disappears. Any algae spores that are still present in the water are removed.

Easy-Life Blue Exit is the new way of getting rid of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) without using antibiotics or compounds which contain copper. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae, slime algae or smear algae) often arise as a result of fertilization, an imbalanced bacteria situation, seriously contaminated bottom material (rotting) or too low nitrate levels. Blue Exit effectively gets rid of cyanobacteria in freshwater aquariums. Blue Exit is easy and safe to use and is harmless to fish, shrimps, molluscs and plants. If there is a serious infestation, the Blue Exit treatment can be prolonged for a few days, even with a double dose.

Easy-Life Excital is the new way of removing cyanobacteria in marine aquariums without using antibiotics or compounds which contain copper. Cyanobacteria (red slime algae) often arise if the water temperature rises, sometimes in combination with a high level of organics in the water or rotting bottom material. Excital effectively gets rid of cyanobacteria. Excital is easy and safe to use and is harmless to fish and corals. If there is a serious infestation, then it is recommended to first remove the cyanobacteria by hand as much as possible and then add Excital.

Health Product

Easy-Life Voogle is a very efficient and safe innovative product that increases the resistance and supports the natural healing process. Voogle avoids in this way, the use of antibiotics. Resistance problems that are related to many antibiotics, Voogle do not know. Every fish has a natural immune system against pathogens. Transportation, dirty water or a high number of pathogens in the water cause a lot of stress. Stress costs a great deal of energy and has a negative effect on the immune system. The mucous skin, gills and fins, in particular, become more sensitive to diseases, such as white spot, fungi and other types of infection. Weekly use of Voogle ensures that fish remain optimally protected in a natural way and the dangers resulting from pathogens are greatly reduced.

Marine Aquarium Additives

Healthy, colourful coral in a marine aquarium is extremely attractive to look at. Easy-Life MaxiCoral A & B are essential products to help achieve healthy, colourful corals. MaxiCoral A & B form an ideal professional mix with more than 40 trace elements, which enrich the saltwater. MaxiCoral A & B have been developed after careful analysis of saltwater samples from various (tropical) regions at varying depths. An average ideal mix was taken from these analyses, taking into consideration the demonstrable use of the various elements. This has been translated into more than 40 elements which have been combined together in MaxiCoral A & B.

MaxiCoral A & B must be used together to prevent a deficiency in essential minerals. MaxiCoral A contains, amongst other things, a strontium/barium complex, Mg, Mn, Fe, Mo, Li, Rb, Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Ni and Se. MaxiCoral B contains, amongst other things, a fluorine/iodine mix, bromine, potassium and boron.

Easy-Life Calcium is a strong and concentrated calcium source for vibrant and healthy corals. The optimal Calcium content is 410-450 ppm. The product is multiple stabilized. Dosage for Easy-Life Calcium: adding 10 ml per 100 litres of water once a week raises the Ca-concenttation with 20 ppm.

Magnesium is essential for the growth of healthy, attractive corals. The optimal magnesium concentration in a marine aquarium is 1,250 – 1,400 mg per litre (ppm). Easy-Life Magnesium is a concentrated product which is ideal to use to compensate for a deficiency. Use weekly or after measurement 10 ml per 30 litres (1 fl oz per 24 US gallons) raises the Mg-concentration with 10 ppm.

Strontium is an important element for the growth of corals The optimum strontium concentration in a marine aquarium is 8 - 12 mg per litre (ppm). Easy-Life Strontium is a concentrated product which is ideal to use to compensate for a deficiency. Use weekly 10 ml per 500 litres water.

Iodine protects coral against UV radiation and forms a natural protection against all sorts of parasites. The optimal concentration of iodine (which is a combination of iodine, iodide and iodate) is 0.06 mg per litre (ppm) in a marine aquarium. Easy-Life Iodine contains iodide and iodate in the most optimal ratio and is ideal for compensating for a deficiency. Use weekly 10 ml per 50 litres water.

In time, a marine aquarium will lose its carbonate hardness (KH), which may lead to a dangerous acidity level (pH value). Easy-Life pH-Buffer (KH+) safely increases the KH, so that the pH value is stabilized at the correct level. The product contains in total 18,100 dKH.
