Interzoo 2018 coverage: OceanLife presents biologically activated water

oceanlife coral sea water
OceanLife came to Interzoo with several innovations, among which the most important is the new biologically activated bottled water: Coral Sea Water.

The idea is positively intriguing. Instead of purchasing the salt directly, you can acquire already salted and ready to use water. This way, you can count on industrially produced reverse osmosis water – a much higher quality than what we could produce at home; it contains OceanLife’s Supreme sea salt, which is considered to be one of the best salts on the market, with a theoretically perfect melting process.

But that’s not all. The salt is alive, or rather, biologically activated. We believe that some of the selected blends of bacteria have been inoculated. This way there is no pathogenic agent within the water, no kind of contaminant within the flacon, just water that can be directly poured in the aquarium, maybe after bringing it to the tank’s temperature.

One of the best features is that it gives you the option of storing a noteworthy amount of water in order to always have an emergency replacement. This, in addition to knowing you are using an essentially perfect water.

OceanLife’s Simone and Luca with DaniReef

We at DaniReef/Reefs.com made arrangements with OceanLife’s Simone and Luca, who you can see in the previous picture, to quickly receive a jug so we can test it for you. We are very curious, and we could migrate to using this type of water for a fair price.

The Aquascaping corner with Simone Castagnoli

OceanLife is not only about salt water, and we also appreciated the two aquascapings our friend Simone Castagnoli prepared.

Above you can see the first one, larger, and below is the smaller one. Both noteworthy.

But these aren’t all of OceanLife’s products, and Simone and Luca entertained us by displaying their whole product line.
