Easy Life Fluid Filter Medium

• Clears cloudy water – clumps suspended particles so your filter can remove them, typically within 4–16 hours in a normal aquarium (up to 48–72 hours in a heavily contaminated tank).
• Binds waste and supports the biological filter – works alongside your existing filtration rather than replacing it.
• Gentle on pH – no significant effect on pH between 5 and 10; on water outside that range it nudges pH 0.4–0.6 towards neutral.
• No need to switch anything off – safe to dose with UV clarifiers and protein skimmers still running.
• From 1.5c per litre of tank water treated at the standard maintenance dose – see Cost per litre below.
• Unlimited shelf life at room temperature, so a larger pack won't go to waste.

Easy-Life doesn't publish a line-by-line ingredient list for Fluid Filter Medium. The manufacturer describes it only as a proprietary mixture of natural ingredients, and states the product contains no added chemicals and no bacteria. Easy-Life cites independent testing showing an 83.7% reduction in E. coli within 3 minutes of dosing, rising to 95% within 6 minutes, in treated water.

Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums, for routine maintenance dosing and water changes, for fish showing minor stress or discomfort, and at a higher dose for quarantine or after transport.

Easy-Life doesn't publish species-specific exclusions for this product. If your tank holds sensitive invertebrates or newly arrived, wild-caught fish, start at the standard maintenance dose rather than a problem dose, and watch how they respond.

Shake well before use, then add directly to the aquarium – there's no need to pre-mix it or turn off UV clarifiers or skimmers. Temporary cloudiness after dosing is normal and shows the product is working; it typically clears in 4 to 16 hours, or up to 48 to 72 hours in a heavily contaminated tank.

Calculated from the standard maintenance dose of 10 mL per 30 L of tank water:

The 5 L pack works out cheapest per litre treated at the standard dose – worth stepping up if you dose regularly across a large system.

Do I need to turn off my UV steriliser or skimmer before dosing?

No. Easy-Life Fluid Filter Medium can be dosed with UV clarifiers and protein skimmers running as normal.

Why did my water go cloudy after dosing?

That's the product working – it's clumping fine particles so your filter can remove them. Normal aquariums clear in 4 to 16 hours; heavily contaminated tanks can take 48 to 72 hours.

Can I use it every water change?

Yes – Easy-Life recommends dosing at the same 10 mL per 30 L rate whenever you top up or change water, in addition to the regular monthly maintenance dose.

Will it affect my aquarium's pH?

It has no significant effect on pH between 5 and 10. Outside that range it nudges pH by 0.4 to 0.6 towards neutral.
