Korallen-Zucht Amino Acid Concentrate LPS – 500 ml

This amino acid concentrate from Korallen-Zucht speeds coral tissue expansion and regeneration, ideal for large polyp stony and soft corals.

Coral tissue expands immediately after dosing. Very positive effect also on growth rates. Improves regeneration of damaged corals.

High quality coral food!

Especially for large polyp stony corals (LPS) and soft corals, e.g. Cynarina, Blastomussa, Welsophyllia, Symphyllia, Musidae, Fungia, Heliofungia, Catalaphyllia.

Dosing: 1ml per 200L/day.
Shake well before use.

Compatibility

What it is. Amino acids formulated for large-polyp stony corals. KZ's catalogue names the targets: Cynarina, Blastomussa, Wellsophyllia, Symphyllia, Musidae, Fungia, Heliofungia, Catalaphyllia, Euphyllia. Coral tissue expands immediately after dosing; regular use increases growth and speeds the regeneration of damaged corals. KZ are explicit that these are a completely different kind of amino acid from the Amino Acid High Concentrate, not a variation in strength.

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.

Bulk Reef Supply note it is particularly useful while corals acclimatise during the early stages of any low-nutrient system.

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.
