Compatibility

What it is. KZ’s catalogue: colouration, growth and vitality, a basic trace element mix developed for ultra-low-nutrient systems whose corals have gone pale. It suits systems with hard, soft and horn corals. Bulk Reef Supply add that it contains colouring agents and amino acids and is the newer of the two Xtra formulations.

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.

Xtra Special is the narrower of the two. KZ’s rule: Xtra Special is for ultra-low-nutrient tanks with pale corals lacking deep colouration, and specifically not for creamy or brown ones: those want plain Pohl’s Xtra.

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 to 410 mg/L, magnesium 1,260 to 1,280 mg/L, carbonate hardness 6.5 to 8, potassium 380 to 400 mg/L, salinity 33 to 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.
