Description

Easy-Life Catappa-X (Indian Almond Leaf Extract) 1lt — Litre bottle for larger tanks and frequent dosing

A discus tank, a large community aquarium or a shrimp room with more than a handful of tanks uses almond-leaf conditioner by the hundreds of millilitres rather than the odd capful, which is where the smaller bottles run out fast. Easy-Life Catappa-X (Indian Almond Leaf Extract) 1lt (SKU: 100912) is the one-litre size of Easy-Life’s liquid concentrate of Terminalia catappa leaf extract from the Dutch manufacturer Easy-Life International BV, and it is the size the maker points to for larger tanks or tanks that need dosing more often than the standard fortnightly schedule. Easy-Life credits the extract with antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that support stressed fish, and because it is a measured liquid rather than steeped leaves it leaves the water clear instead of tea-coloured.

The standard dose is 10 mL per 100 L of aquarium water, or 0.1 mL per litre, shaken well before use and dosed once every two weeks, more frequently in heavily stocked tanks or busier maintenance periods. Scaled up to a 500 L discus or community tank, each dose becomes 50 mL, so the 1 L bottle still covers twenty fortnightly doses, around forty weeks of routine dosing for one large tank. Split across several smaller betta or shrimp tanks instead, the same litre stretches to a hundred standard 10 mL doses, enough for a small fishroom to run its whole fortnightly schedule from one bottle for an extended period. Easy-Life names bettas, discus and shrimp as the typical fish kept with Catappa-X.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Large tanks: Discus or community aquariums of 300 L or more, where doses scale up accordingly.
• Multi-tank shrimp or betta rooms: Several smaller tanks dosed from the one litre bottle.
• Frequent dosing schedules: Tanks stepped up beyond the standard fortnightly rate.
• Ongoing blackwater-style conditioning: ongoing use rather than a single short treatment.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Standard dose: 10 mL per 100 L of aquarium water.
• Frequency: Every two weeks, more often in heavily stocked tanks.
• Large tanks: Scale the dose up in proportion to the tank’s volume.
• Before dosing: Shake well, since the extract can settle in storage.
