Easy-Life is a big name in Germany and highly regarded winning several awards for their aquarium products. Easy-Life is now shipping to the USA this week and may live up to their name for some of you battling red algae or metal-laced water conditions.

Big news for Reef Angel fans - the first aquarium open-source controller just released a relay expansion module so you can double the amount of sockets you can control from 8 to 16. The original 8 socket hardware limitation nagged some so it is good to see this module address it.



Even so, being open source, amazing things have been developed for this controller - just take a look at what crank2211 released on 3reef over the summer. With the Reef Angel module and the soon to be released hub (next month) that will let you chain up to 8 of these modules for a mind-numbing 72 sockets - the sky is truly the limit!



This module is available now for around $100. - On sale now for $89!
