High Purity Reef Aquarium Products From Italy

Posted By : Guest

Oceanlife is another incredible aquarium manufacturer from Italy whose incredible products is making its way soon to South Africa. The company has been operating for nearly 20 years and produces products like chemical additives, filtration media, test kits, food, aquariums and impressive livestock display systems.

We’ve been impressed with the level of quality from Oceanlife and other Italian companies. They construct quality aquariums that are beautifully designed from top to bottom including custom-coloured stands to make an impact. They pride themselves on building designs that fit the customer’s needs – whether you are a hobbyist or a retailer or wholesaler.

A fresh source of nutrients can really make the difference to coral nutrition, colouration and health. From studies, Oceanlife learned that the concept to feed corals with fish wastes is conceptually wrong. In nature, our corals absorb from water a quantity of elements like minerals, vitamins and amino acids and they can also prey food like phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacterioplankton.

The Oceanlife line of coral foods from Italy is specifically designed and tested to give the best result in terms of growth, colouration and health. Healthy corals will moreover better fight the threat of many pests. Nutrition is therefore a key element for successful coral growth and health.

Amin Extra Powder is like an amino acid additive but in a more concentrated powder form that may be more quickly taken up by corals. Coral Food Powder is probably just like many other coral foods, finely ground food stuffs that is dried and needs to be rehydrated to be fed to corals but Skim Stop is different. We know that adding oils to the aquarium will collapse your protein skimmer but Oceanlife takes that one step further by literally calling their Omega-3 additive Skim Stop, and recommending to add it to your aquarium right alongside the Amin Extra and Coral Food Powder to prevent your skimmer from pulling these foods.

Starting with the right salt is the first right step to the success. You do not have to choose between many qualities and compositions because the only right composition is that of the sea. So Oceanlife in Italy produced only this one type of salt, cost effective and a perfect answer to one of the most important questions: what salt?

Supreme Liquid Salt is formulated and carefully blended within Oceanlife's plant using only the best pharmaceutical quality salts to accurately replicate natural seawater (NSW). This 3-part system is faster and easier to use than traditional powdered salt. Once the 3 components have been added to the water, the water is immediately ready for use. Thanks to its intelligent formulation, it also allows any downward correction of trace elements in the event of an accumulation is found through ICP analysis. To perform this particular procedure just follow the instructions of the Balance software on www.oceanlife.it

Oceanlife also has products available if you using the Balling Method to supplement your reef tank which are extremely simple to use and cost effective. This system is based on replenishing calcium, carbonates and many other elements with the use of liquid solutions instead of a calcium reactor.

This Oceanlife balling system is much simpler compared to the calcium reactor regarding the settings and allows to keep ionic equilibrium between calcium and carbonates by simply adjusting the dosage of the two main products. The online calculation software on Oceanlife website helps you to fine tune the dosage and makes this system one of the simplest and reliable solution to replenish all elements using dosing pumps. All products are manufactured in Italy using raw materials with pharmaceutical grade purity.

The Oceanlife Overflow system is a aquarium drain and return device which manages this simple yet critical aspect to having external aquarium filtration. With its extremely compact size and attractive design, the Oceanlife Overflow system fits seamlessly into the tank, leaving full space to the inhabitants, without resorting to the use of unsightly overflow columns. It is natively suitable for glasses from 8 to 20 mm without needs of changes. The pipes are in the back of the tank, facilitating maintenance and cleaning. The cleaning is very simple, just turn and remove the front grille, which can then be cleaned with ease and without having to stop the return pump.

Available with 40mm or 50mm drain, it can also be purchased in packages with separate drain and 25mm return versions. Compared to the minimal appearance and footprint of the Oceanlife Overflow system, any aquarium overflow box looks gargantuan and it would be nice to see a decline of the ancient overflow box taking up so much real estate in our aquariums.

The Oceanlife Overflow has features to quiet the noise of the draining water. Don’t you hate overflow boxes that take up so much space in most reef tanks?
