EASYLIFE 25 ROOT STICKS
Optimal root feeding
The Easy-Life 25 Root Sticks are ideal to feed plants directly at the roots. The product contains 25 pieces of special clay sticks that are very nutritious and have a high iron content. Due to the special pre-treatment of these sticks, they do not fall apart immediately upon contact with water. The release of nutrients goes very gradually over a period of several weeks. The water will not get cloudy at all, so algae cannot take advantage of that. The product is very easy to use and causes no additional water pollution.
Use these root sticks for plants with a strong need for root nutrition such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus or Lotus. If the soil layer is very narrow or the plant roots are small, the sticks can be very easily broken into smaller pieces. The root sticks can therefore be used in all cases.

EasyLife EasyCarbo-Bio Liquid co2 250ml All Natural Shrimp Safe
Size: 250ml
Natural liquid carbon source
EasyCarbo Bio is a natural liquid carbon source for aquarium plants on a natural basis. Carbon is important for plants to grow well and compete effectively with algae. With too little carbon or CO2 in the aquarium, algae often get a chance.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 defi ciency, plants stop growing and no longer compete with algae for the nutrients. If this carbon defi ciency 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.

EasyLife Ferro Iron 250ml
Size:250ml
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.

EasyLife Liquid Co2 EasyCarbo 100ml
Size: 100ml
Carbon is essential for good plant growth
EasyCarbo is an extremely powerful and effective carbon source for aquarium plants.
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). As 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.

EASYLIFE NITRO (Nitrogen) 250ML
Size: 250ml
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.
The Redfield ratio is usually used to decide on the correct ratio between nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4). See further on for a detailed explanation.

EASYLIFE Potassium Kalium 250ml
Size: 250ml
Extra potassium when needed
Easy-Life Potassium is an essential macronutrient and is at least as important as iron!
A shortage of potassium easily arises in areas with soft water.
This demonstrates itself by white, decolourized leaves in the top of a plant. The leaves may also have black pinholes.
These symptoms are often confused with the symptoms of a deficiency of iron. It is recommended to add both Easy-Life Ferro (Iron) and
Easy-Life Potassium to compensate for or prevent deficiencies, particularly in aquaria with fast-growing plants.SKU: KA1001 -

Echinodorus ‘Aquartica’
This compact, green, low-growing Echinodorus cultivar was developed by the plant breeder Christian Iversen from Aquartica company in Denmark. Under aquarium conditions, it forms a spreading rosette of broadly elliptic, medium green leaves with wavy margin. In stark contrast to the many vigorously growing, large swordplants, it is even suited for the foreground and for nano aquariums as it gets only 10-20 cm. Furthermore it grows quite slowly and contents with only moderate light intensity.
This plant is mostly delivered in its emersed (terrestrial) stage, with more roundish, longer stalked leaves. Planted into the aquarium, it will develop its typical submerged growth habit.- Recommendable low-growing Echinodorus cultivar
- 10-20 cm tall
- Medium-green leaves with wavy edge
- Also suited for the foreground and nano aquariums

Echinodorus Cordifolius ‘Fluitans’
- Large, entirely green solitary plant
- Elongate, ovate leaves
- No high demands
- Comparatively fast growing
This sword plant is labeled by the nursery Tropica as Echinodorus cordifolius ‘Fluitans’. According to Tropica it originates from Mexico. In contrast to “typical” Echinodorus cordifolius, “Fluitans” does not have roundish, deeply heart-shaped, but elongate, ovate leaves. It does not grow out of the water as readily as several other E. cordifolius forms, making it a well-suited submerged aquarium plant. This Echinodorus forms a lush, about 30-50 cm tall and at least 30 cm wide leaf rosette. The submerged foliage is light to medium green, newly appearing leaves may show slightly reddish tones.
The plant is mostly delivered in its emersed (terrestrial) form with long stalked aerial leaves, but after planting into the tank shorter stalked submerged leaves will appear, and the older emersed foliage can be cut off. As well as other Echinodorus, it benefits much from nutrient supply by the substrate. There are no special demands on the water chemistry; it grows well in soft to medium hard water with temperatures around 20-28 °C. CO2 supply is not strictly necessary but may enhance its growth. Under favorable conditions inflorescences with adventitious plantlets can be expected. When the young plants are strong enough, they can be cut off and replanted.
Echinodorus cordifolius “Fluitans” is primarily a solitary plant for the midground to background, due to its size best in larger, spacious, at least 50 cm high aquariums. In contrast to the many red or strikingly spotted Echinodorus hybrid cultivars, it has a natural appearance due to its green coloration.

Echinodorus Rose
Echinodorus ‘Red Diamond’ was bred in the Ukraine and is probably a cross between Echinodorus horemanni ‘Red’ and Echinodorus x barthii. The resultant hybrid is an attractive, relatively small plant with ruby-red sword-shaped leaves, 15-25 cm long.
Unlike many other sword plants, Echinodorus ‘Red Diamond’ remains moderate in size (20-30 cm wide rosette), so it is extremely well suited as a solitary plant, even in small aquariums. Increasing the nutrients in the substrate results in more abundant growth, while favourable light conditions promote the formation of the ruby-red leaves.
- Red leaves, dark red nerves
- Narrowly egg-shaped leaves
- Relatively low
- Also suitable for small tanks

- Highly decorative aquatic moss
- Feathery appearance
- Dark green coloration
- Also suitable for cold water tanks
Fissidens fontanus is a delicate feathery dark green aquatic moss clinging to driftwood or rocks with its rhizoids, forming roundish cushions or lawn-like populations. It is also known under the synonym Octodiceras fontanum and in the trade as “Fissidens geppii”. We cultivate two variants of this species, which differ in size when growing in the same environment. The smaller variant is what we call “Phoenix moss”. It develops around 3 to 5 mm long leaflets, is of a somewhat darker green and has an overall more delicate growth habit and looks more compact as it branches more readily than the larger variant.
