Ensure that the operating pressure and water temperature remain within the specified ranges. The osmosis water produced can then be used for water changes, for preparing seawater or for precisely adjusting water parameters.Before first use and after changing filters or membranes, the system should be flushed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Filter performance should be checked regularly based on the osmosis water parameters and the production rate. The quality, temperature and pressure of the tap water can affect the actual water yield and the quality of the osmosis water.Zoo Roco TipFor sensitive aquarium inhabitants, shrimps, planted tanks and marine aquariums, reverse osmosis water provides an excellent basis for precisely and consistently maintaining water parameters. If necessary, use suitable hardness-increasing salts or seawater salt to ensure the water is optimally adapted to the specific animals and plants in the tank. Check the water parameters regularly using suitable test kits or a conductivity meter.

Banana leaves – natural care and decoration for aquariumsBanana leaves are a natural and decorative addition to freshwater aquariums. They are particularly suitable for shrimp aquariums, blackwater setups and naturally themed tanks. Once in the water, the dried leaves slowly release tannins, helping to create a natural aquarium environment. The leaves provide small fish, shrimp, snails and crabs with sheltered areas to hide in. As they gradually decompose, they create valuable grazing areas and a natural food source for shrimp and snails. Banana leaves are also popular in shrimp breeding, as they provide the animals with places to retreat to and additional surfaces for grazing.Banana leaves are an interesting alternative or addition to sea almond leaves and can be combined very well with other natural materials such as catappa bark, coconut shells, lotus pods or cholla wood.Advantages at a glanceNatural leaves for aquariums and shrimp tanksRelease tannins into the waterCan help to support a natural blackwater environmentProvide hiding places for small fish, shrimp, snails and crayfishUsed as grazing and feeding areas whilst decomposingNaturally dried and untreatedSafe for fish, shrimp, crayfish and snailsContents: 20 piecesUsageUse approximately 1 leaf per 5 litres of aquarium water. The leaves can be placed directly into the aquarium. They usually sink after 48–72 hours and remain effective for around 2–3 weeks. Afterwards, the remains can be removed or left in the aquarium as a natural food source for shrimp and snails. Zoo Roco Tip: Combine banana leaves with catappa leaves, coconut shells or moss-covered stones. This will create a natural arrangement with plenty of hiding places, foraging areas and a particularly harmonious look.

Catappa Leaves XL – natural sea almond tree leaves for aquariums and terrariumsCatappa Leaves XL are large, dried leaves of the sea almond tree and are particularly popular in aquariums with tropical fish, shrimp and blackwater species. In water, the leaves release natural tannins and humic substances slowly, which may cause the aquarium water to take on a slightly yellowish to brownish tint.This natural colouring diffuses the light and mimics the habitat of many tropical fish species. As the leaves slowly decompose, they create valuable grazing areas for shrimp, catfish and other aquarium inhabitants. At the same time, the large leaves provide natural cover and places of refuge. Catappa leaves can also be used decoratively in terrariums and serve as hiding places for small animals or as ground decoration. Catappa leaves are a popular natural product for natural-looking aquariums, blackwater setups and biotope tanks. When stored dry, they have a very long shelf life and are easy to use.Advantages at a glanceLarge Catappa leaves with a length of 21–40 cmRelease natural tannins and humic substancesSupport a natural blackwater appearanceCan promote the well-being of fishProvide grazing areas for shrimp and catfishAlso suitable as decoration and hiding place in the terrarium100 % natural product UsageThe leaves can be placed directly into the aquarium. They soak up water and sink to the bottom after some time. There they release their natural substances over several weeks. After about two to three weeks, a new leaf can be added if needed. The old leaves can remain in the aquarium, as they are readily grazed on by shrimp and other animals.Product detailsSize: approx. 21–40 cmContents: 10 piecesMaterial: dried leaves of the sea almond tree, Terminalia catappaSuitable for: freshwater aquariums, blackwater tanks, shrimp aquariums and terrariumsZoo Roco Tip: Catappa Leaves XL can be ideally combined with alder cones, lotus pods, cholla wood or coconut shells. This creates a particularly natural-looking aquarium with many hiding places and valuable surfaces for grazing.

Easy-Life OsmoVital Salt – Minerals for stable aquarium waterOsmoVital Salt is a highly soluble hardening and mineral salt, with which you can specifically remineralise osmosis water, demineralised water, filtered rainwater or tap water that is too soft. It increases GH and KH and supplements important trace elements – without nitrate or phosphate.Product features:Hardening and mineral salt for freshwater aquariums Suitable for remineralising osmosis water and very soft water Increases GH (total hardness) and KH (carbonate hardness) Supplements essential vitamins/trace elements (e.g. potassium, iron, manganese, boron, iodide, fluoride) Without nitrate and without phosphate Available pack sizes: 250 g, 500 g, 1000 gAdvantages:Helps to establish a more stable aquatic environment (GH supplies minerals, KH supports the pH buffer) Ideal if your source water is too soft or if you consistently use osmosis water Easy to use when filling for the first time and during water changesDosage:Dosage (guidelines) per 100 litres (1 measuring spoon = 5 g): 1 spoon: GH +2 °d, KH +1.3 °d, +140 µS/cm 2 spoons: GH +4 °d, KH +2.6 °d, +280 µS/cm 3 spoons: GH +6 °d, KH +3.9 °d, +420 µS/cm 4 spoons: GH +8 °d, KH +5.2 °d, +560 µS/cm 5 spoons: GH +10 °d, KH +6.8 °d, +700 µS/cmIf you work with osmosis water or your tap water is very soft, exactly the minerals that fish, invertebrates and plants need for stable conditions are often missing in the aquarium. Easy-Life OsmoVital Salt addresses this directly: As a highly soluble hardening and mineral salt, it enables you to remineralise soft water quickly and in a controlled manner – ideal for initial filling and every water change.The benefit lies in the targeted adjustment of GH and KH. Total hardness (GH) supplies important minerals, while carbonate hardness (KH) supports the pH value in the aquarium as a buffer. In this way, you create a water profile that can be better adapted to the needs of many freshwater inhabitants – especially if you start deliberately with soft source water and want to set your own values.In addition to hardening, OsmoVital Salt also supplements essential trace elements and vitamins. At the same time, it is free from nitrate and phosphate, which can be an advantage especially in well-maintained planted aquariums and with controlled nutrient management. Thanks to its high solubility, the salt can be dosed and mixed in easily.The dosage table helps you with the adjustment: Per 100 litres and 5 g (1 measuring spoon), GH, KH and conductivity increase in clearly defined steps. This means you can accurately achieve your target values instead of remineralising “at random”. For best results, it is recommended to measure the values after preparing the replacement water and readjust in small steps if necessary.Zoo Roco Tip:Ideally, dissolve OsmoVital Salt in the replacement water (bucket/canister), stir well and measure GH/KH afterwards before adding the water to the tank. This prevents fluctuations in the aquarium. If you keep shrimp or special biotope species, consistently set the target values according to their needs – not to “standard values”.
