Compatibility

What it is. KZ's dosing guide: brings the biology back into balance and is helpful against cyanobacteria, supports healthy basal encrustation and yellow colouration in Acropora, and contains important trace elements.

Where this sits in the Korallen-Zucht range. KZ build everything around four basis products — ZEOvit zeolite media, ZEObak, ZEOfood and ZEOstart — which together are the ZEOvit system. Everything else in the range, this product included, is a layer on top: colour products, problem solvers, and single elements. KZ's own guidance is that the products can each be used separately, without the complete ZEOvit system and without the other KZ products, but that the full effect in quality and colouration comes only from running the system.

KZ mark A-Balance as usable without the ZEOvit system, and as not one to combine with the Coral System 1–4 programme.

No ozone and no UV while you are running the ZEOvit system. That is KZ's instruction, and the reason is the point of the system: ozone and UV destroy the microorganisms and elements the whole method depends on.

KZ's own target water parameters, for any tank running their products: calcium 400–410 mg/L, magnesium 1,260–1,280 mg/L, carbonate hardness 6.5–8, potassium 380–400 mg/L, salinity 33–35 ppt. They add a warning worth repeating: higher figures bring no advantage. Neither growth nor colouration in SPS corals is improved by pushing past these, and higher levels tend to have negative effects.

Dosage & Directions

Korallen-Zucht's own dose. 2 ml per 100 litres per week.

Two dosing figures circulate for this product. The retail label carries an initial 50 ml per 100 litres followed by 1 ml per 100 litres every 10 days. Korallen-Zucht's own 2018 Easy Reefing guide gives 2 ml per 100 litres per week and publishes no loading dose. Treat the guide figure as the one to run on and ask us before dosing any loading quantity. Where the two disagree we print Korallen-Zucht's own, and if you are new to the product the lower rate is the one to start on — you can always dose more.

How and where it goes in. Directly into the tank, into the flow. All equipment stays running.

Start below the figure, not at it. KZ's own instruction for a first-time user, a lightly stocked tank, or a tank with little growth: reduce the dosage recommendation and adjust upward. Their words — do not act on the principle that the more the merrier.

Calculate on gross volume. KZ ask you to use the gross water amount for dosing arithmetic, not a net figure with rock and sand deducted.
