Tetra EasyBalance
Tetra EasyBalance is a unique water care liquid that keeps your aquarium in balance with minimal effort. It stabilises the pH and carbonate hardness (KH) while reducing nitrate and phosphate in a biological way to extend cleaning intervals. At the same time, the product enriches the aquarium water with essential vitamins, trace elements and minerals that fish and plants need for a healthy life.

Detail
Keeps essential water values in balance
Reliably stabilises carbonate hardness (KH) and pH
Reduces nitrate (NO3-) and phosphate (PO43-) in the long term and therefore prevents algae growth
Adds essential vitamins, trace elements and minerals to the aquarium water for healthy fish and plants
Simplifies aquarium care: reduces the number of partial water changes needed, minimising tap water consumption
For all freshwater aquariums, particularly suitable for soft water aquariums due to the KH-stabilising effect
More information
Tetra EasyBalance is a unique water care solution that keeps your aquarium healthy and in balance with minimal effort. No matter if you are a beginner or an advanced aquarist: By reliably stabilising important water values such as carbonate hardness (KH) and pH, Tetra EasyBalance makes caring for your aquarium much easier. Aquariums with soft water, such as those housing sensitive species like discus fish, particularly benefit from the KH-stabilising effect, as it ensures stable and safe conditions over time. Reducing substances like nitrate and phosphate not only prevents algae growth but also protects fish and plants from stress, ensuring they can thrive in a stable, natural environment. Weekly use of Tetra EasyBalance reduces the number of partial water changes needed. This way, Tetra EasyBalance makes your hobby less time-consuming and helps to save tap water, contributing to more environmentally friendly fishkeeping. Additionally, the product enriches the aquarium water with essential vitamins, trace elements and minerals that fish, invertebrates and plants need for a healthy life. For best results, Tetra EasyBalance should be shaken well before use and added once a week at a dosage of 2.5 ml per 10 L of aquarium water. A sufficient oxygen supply should be ensured, for example by using the Tetra APS air pumps. Within the liquid, pale granules may be visible; they sink to the bottom of the aquarium and are completely harmless to fish and invertebrates, even if ingested. It is important to note that Tetra EasyBalance is not a tap water conditioner and therefore should always be used alongside Tetra AquaSafe whenever new tap water is added. Check the water values in your aquarium regularly with the Tetra Test 7in1.

FAQs
Can Tetra EasyBalance be used as a water conditioner?
No. Tetra EasyBalance is not a tap water conditioner. It is a water care solution designed to stabilise important aquarium values and reduce harmful substances such as nitrate and phosphate. Whenever you add fresh tap water to your aquarium, you should always use Tetra AquaSafe in addition, as it removes chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals instantly. Check your water parameters with the Tetra Test 7in1 on a regular basis.
How does Tetra EasyBalance reduce the number of water changes?
By stabilising key water parameters such as carbonate hardness (KH) and pH, Tetra EasyBalance helps to create a stable aquatic environment. It also reduces nitrate and phosphate – substances that normally accumulate in aquariums and lead to algae growth and imbalance in the ecosystem. At the same time, Tetra Easy Balance adds essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements. This combination makes the whole environment safer and stable which means fewer partial water changes are required, saving time and conserving tap water.
Why was Tetra EasyBalance developed?
Many aquarists find frequent water changes time-consuming. Tetra EasyBalance was created to make fishkeeping more convenient and environmentally friendly. By stabilising KH and pH and reducing substances that stress fish and plants, Tetra EasyBalance supports a natural balance and provides a reliable “safety net” for aquarium owners, especially during busy times or while on holiday.
What are the small pale granules visible in the product?
Within the liquid, you may notice tiny pale granules. These are active ingredients that help to reduce nitrate in the aquarium. They sink harmlessly to the bottom and gradually dissolve. Even if eaten by fish or invertebrates, they are completely safe. Since beneficial bacteria settle on the granules, Tetra EasyBalance can even serve as a food source for snails and shrimp.
Do I need additional aeration when using Tetra EasyBalance?
Yes, it is recommended. As Tetra EasyBalance reduces nitrate and phosphate, a sufficient oxygen supply is important to maintain good biological balance. Using Tetra APS air pumps or other aeration systems ensures optimal conditions for fish and plants during the application.
Is Tetra EasyBalance safe for invertebrates such as shrimp and snails?
Yes. EasyBalance is safe for all aquarium inhabitants, including shrimps and snails. In fact, the added vitamins and minerals can even support the moulting process of invertebrates and contribute to their well-being.
Which fish particularly benefit from Tetra EasyBalance?
Tetra EasyBalance is especially useful for soft water aquariums and sensitive species such as discus fish. By stabilising carbonate hardness, it prevents sudden drops in pH, creating safer conditions. Breeders and aquarists who keep delicate species can rely on Tetra EasyBalance for more stable environments.
Should I use EasyBalance in a newly set-up aquarium?
No, it is not recommended. Tetra EasyBalance is intended for use in established aquariums. A new aquarium must first go through the biological start-up phase before Tetra EasyBalance can be added effectively. Once the aquarium is stable, weekly use of Tetra EasyBalance helps to maintain water quality in the long term and therefore reduces the number of partial water changes required. Use Tetra SafeStart to accelerate the start-up phase of your aquarium.
How long does the effect of Tetra EasyBalance last?
When used once per week at the recommended dosage (2.5 ml per 10 L of aquarium water), Tetra EasyBalance keeps water values stable until the next application. The exact duration of the effect depends on the aquarium size, stocking density and feeding amount and frequency.
Can Tetra EasyBalance be combined with other Tetra products?
Yes, Tetra EasyBalance can be combined with all Tetra water care products safely. For best results, use Tetra EasyBalance together with:
- Tetra AquaSafe whenever fresh tap water is added
- Tetra FilterActive to maintain healthy biological filter bacteria
- Tetra Test 7in1 and pH Liquid Test to monitor water values regularly
This combination ensures comprehensive water care and helps you to react quickly to any changes.
Does Tetra EasyBalance help against algae problems?
Yes. By reducing nitrate and phosphate – the main nutrients algae need to grow – Tetra EasyBalance naturally limits algae development. While it is not an algaecide that combats acute algae problems (e.g. like Tetra AlgoRem or Tetra Algizit), it helps to prevent algae problems in the long term by maintaining a healthier water balance.
How should Tetra EasyBalance be used correctly?
Shake the bottle well before use and add once a week a dosage of 2.5 ml per 10 L of aquarium water. Ensure good aeration in the aquarium, e.g. with the Tetra APS air pump. Continue using your regular water tests like Tetra Test 7in1 to check KH, pH and nitrate values. For new tap water additions, always combine Tetra EasyBalance with Tetra AquaSafe.
