API LAUNCH A MARINE TREATMENTS RANGE

Saturday, November 01, 2008

 
Mars Fishcare Europe has launched a new range of aquarium treatment products focused on meeting the key needs of reef and saltwater fish hobbyists.

The new lines, sold under the API brand, feature 7 core treatments for marine and reef aquariums.

The API MARINE range includes the trusted brand names of STRESS COAT and MELAFIX. Best sellers in the freshwater segment, these products have been scientifically reformulated to deliver the unique benefits of these products in a saltwater environment.

The range also includes essential reef supplements that are derived from natural sources, a unique addition to the saltwater category. All products in the API MARINE range are reef safe.

The API MARINE range was specifically developed to draw new consumers into the hobby and to keep them in the hobby by making them successful. All of the products in the range have the same ease-of-use as our freshwater products. The packaging contains the familiar API branding, clear communication of product benefits and dosing instructions, dosing caps for accuracy and convenience, and brightly colored fish and coral images.

? STRESS COAT® MARINE Fish & Tap Water Conditioner – the only marine fish and water conditioner with the healing power of Aloe Vera. Also is scientifically proven to reduce fish stress
