Korallen-Zucht ZEOlife 1000 ml

ZEOlife will help start and speed up metabolic processes within the aquarium.

Benefits include:

• Biologically removes water yellowing compounds and tank cloudiness.
• Reduces nitrate and phosphate when used regularly.
• Speeds up the initial stages of the ZEOvit system and boosts effectiveness of the ZEOvit system.

ZEOlife can be used with or without the ZEOvit system. When used alone it will help naturally remove yellowing compounds from the aquarium as well as keep the water crystal clear. Used as part of the Zeovit system it will help speed up the initial stages of and promote better performance on an ongoing basis.

Dosing: Turn off your protein skimmer for an hour after dosing. Ideal dosing times are after water changes or when you notice related issues with the tank.

1 L per 1250 US gallons.

Compatibility

What it is. A liquid filter medium. KZ’s catalogue: reduces phosphate and nitrate, and removes yellowing compounds and cloudiness biologically. The dosing guide adds that in long-term use it also works on mulm deposits.

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.

Bulk Reef Supply state it can be used with or without the ZEOvit system: on its own it clears yellowing compounds and keeps the water crystal clear, and inside the system it speeds up the early stages and improves ongoing performance.

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.

Dosage & Directions

Korallen-Zucht’s own dose. 3 ml per 100 litres per day.

How and where it goes in. Directly into the tank, into the flow, and switch the skimmer off for about an hour afterwards. Bulk Reef Supply suggest dosing after a water change or when you notice the water going off.

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.

Pack Size

This listing is the 1000 ml pack.

What that is worth on a 100-litre tank. At KZ’s rate of 3 ml per 100 litres per day, 1000 ml is about 333 doses, and on a 100-litre tank, 333 days of dosing. Scale it down for a bigger tank: a 400-litre tank uses four times as much per dose, so the same bottle lasts a quarter as long.

We stock it in 1000 ml and 5000 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.
