Easy-Life Excital – Red Slime Algae & Cyanobacteria Control

Help control unwanted red slime algae in your aquarium with Easy-Life Excital, a specialist aquarium treatment designed to combat cyanobacteria (Cyano sp.) by encouraging the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

Unlike treatments that rely on directly killing algae, Excital works by stimulating specific microorganisms in light-sensitive areas of the aquarium. These microorganisms compete with cyanobacteria, helping displace unwanted red slime growth and restore a cleaner aquarium environment.

Designed to be safe for aquarium inhabitants and biological filtration when used as directed, Excital provides a practical solution for aquariums experiencing persistent red slime algae problems.

Key Features:

• Red Slime Algae Control – Specifically developed to combat unwanted cyanobacteria growth
• Biological Action – Stimulates beneficial microorganisms that compete with red slime algae
• Targets Cyanobacteria – Helps displace unwanted red slime growth from aquarium surfaces
• Supports Aquarium Balance – Encourages natural biological competition within the aquarium
• Safe for Aquarium Inhabitants – Designed for use around aquarium residents when used according to instructions
• Biofilter Friendly – Suitable for use with established biological filtration systems
• No Equipment Shutdown Required – Aquarium equipment can remain operating during treatment
• Visible Results – Improvements may become noticeable after approximately 5–7 days
• Simple Liquid Dosage – Convenient daily treatment programme
• Weekly Maintenance Option – Follow-up dosing helps maintain longer-term results

How Easy-Life Excital Works

Easy-Life Excital works by encouraging the development of selected microorganisms that compete with cyanobacteria for space and available resources.

Red slime algae, commonly referred to as cyanobacteria, can spread across aquarium surfaces, decorations and substrate.

By stimulating beneficial microbial activity, Excital helps create conditions where cyanobacteria are less able to dominate the aquarium environment.

This biological process takes time, as the competing microorganisms must first establish sufficient populations.

Helps Control Red Slime Algae

Red slime algae can form unwanted reddish, purple or dark-coloured deposits across aquarium surfaces.

Excital is designed to help displace this growth through biological competition rather than relying solely on conventional algae removal methods.

Visible improvements may begin after approximately 5–7 days, with results generally becoming clearer within around 10 days.

In more persistent cases, a second treatment course may be necessary according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Safe for Aquarium Biological Filtration

Easy-Life Excital is formulated to support red slime algae control while remaining compatible with established aquarium biological filtration.

The treatment is intended to work alongside normal aquarium equipment, helping maintain water circulation and filtration during use.

Important: Remove activated carbon from the filtration system before beginning treatment.

Directions for Use:

Initial Treatment: Add 10ml per 40 litres of aquarium water daily for 5 days.

1. Calculate the actual volume of aquarium water.
2. Remove activated carbon from the filtration system.
3. Keep normal aquarium equipment operating.
4. Switch on the aquarium lighting before dosing.
5. Add 10ml of Easy-Life Excital per 40 litres of aquarium water.
6. Repeat the recommended dose daily for 5 consecutive days.
7. Monitor the aquarium for improvements over the following days.
8. If necessary, repeat treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Important: Add Excital while the aquarium lights are switched on to support the intended treatment process.

Initial Treatment Dosage Guide:

Weekly Maintenance Dosage

For sustained results following the initial treatment, the recommended maintenance dosage is:

10ml per 100 litres of aquarium water once per week.

Regular maintenance dosing helps support continued biological competition against unwanted cyanobacteria.

Weekly Maintenance Dosage Guide:

• 50 Litres: 5ml Weekly
• 100 Litres: 10ml Weekly
• 150 Litres: 15ml Weekly
• 200 Litres: 20ml Weekly
• 300 Litres: 30ml Weekly
• 400 Litres: 40ml Weekly
• 500 Litres: 50ml Weekly

When Will Results Become Visible?

Easy-Life Excital works through a gradual biological process rather than an immediate chemical reaction.

During the first few days, beneficial microorganisms begin establishing themselves and competing with cyanobacteria.

Visible improvements may begin after approximately 5–7 days, with further improvements possible within around 10 days.

Results depend on aquarium conditions and the severity of the cyanobacteria growth.
