Korallen-Zucht Amino Acid Concentrate 50 ml

This amino acid concentrate from Korallen-Zucht speeds coral tissue expansion and regeneration for healthier growth.

Unique solution of combined amino acids and additional elements which promote the vitality and health of corals

• Promotes quicker tissue regeneration in injured corals.
• Increased growth, even for corals positioned in low light areas.
• Maximizes polyp extension.
• Helps SPS produce their slime coat which provides improved protection from predators and handling.
• Provides a nutrition source for otherwise hard to keep corals that require additional attention.

Korallen-Zucht Amino Acid Concentrate will aid coral vitality and growth. Internal KZ tests have shown growth increase by as much as 100%, even in low light situations where that would otherwise be extremely difficult.

Recommended daily dose is 1 drop per 25 gallons. As with dosing most amino acids, it is difficult to overdose in a way that would harm the corals but overdosing may lead to an increase in brown slime algae. If you notice this, decrease dose to 1/3 until slime dissipates.

Compatibility

What it is. KZ's catalogue: a high-tech amino acid solution that improves natural colouration and polyp expansion in all kinds of corals, and strongly improves growth and vitality — including sensitive species and corals sitting in low light. They also credit it with making SPS corals produce more slime, which protects them from predation and handling. Bulk Reef Supply cite internal KZ testing showing growth increases of up to 100% even in low light.

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 it as combinable with the Coral System 1–4 programme at half rate.

The LPS version is a different molecule set, not a different strength — KZ say so explicitly. If your tank is LPS-led, that is the one.

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.

Pack Size

This listing is the 50 ml pack.

We stock it in 50 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml. The contents are identical; only the bottle changes. If you are dosing a large system daily, the larger packs are the ones to ask about.

Buy the size you will actually get through. These are concentrated additives dosed in millilitres and drops. A 5-litre container on a nano tank is not a saving; it is a bottle that will outlive its usefulness on the shelf.

Freshness & Storage

Every batch we dispatch carries a minimum of 6 months' remaining shelf life. Store this product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap or inner foil closed tightly after each use.
