Korallen-Zucht Coral System Component 1 – 250 ml

Korallen-Zucht’s Coral System line is a multi-step dosing regimen developed to cultivate and breed corals with strong growth and vivid coloration.

• Enhances polyp extension.
• Intensifies yellow/gold coloration.
• Intensifies green coloration.

The easy to use system will lead to exceptional coloration and growth while providing essential elements and compounds that your corals need to maintain good health. The system compiles a variety of trace elements, and organic compounds to help with vital cellular functions allowing your corals to produce magnificent colors and mass. The Coral Components System can be used individually, however the best results will be noticed when the entire system is used.

The KZ Coral System does not include calcium, alkalinity or magnesium.

Korallen-Zucht has designed an all inclusive system that is for aquariums that are NOT running the Zeovit system.

Korallen-Zucht has always been known for their Zeovit system that allows aquarium to produce corals with perfect coloration and growth. They now have a system that includes all the necessary components for reef tanks that are not running the Zeovit system. The easy to use Coral Components System is much easier only requiring once a week dosing that have specific goals in mind. If you are trying to enhance a single color in your tank, or looking for an entire trace element system, the KZ Coral System is for you.

Compatibility

What it is. Coral System is KZ's four-part programme — components 1, 2, 3 and 4, dosed together. Their dosing guide describes it as a complete system carrying the most important vital elements and compounds for colouration, health and improved biology, and as supplying the vital elements and compounds a tank consumes.

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.

The four components are meant to run together. A single component is part of a programme, not a standalone supplement — if you are buying one, buy the set or ask us which you are missing.

Coral System runs alongside the ZEOvit system rather than instead of it. KZ mark most of the range as combinable with Coral System 1–4, and mark a few — Sponge Power, B-Balance, A-Balance, Sea Water Complex and the Trace Element Complex — as ones not to combine with it. The amino acid concentrates and K-Balance combine at half rate.

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.
