What is KoraLagoon Substrat used for?
KoraLagoon Substrat is a high-purity aragonite-based substrate designed to simulate the natural particle composition of tropical reef lagoon environments.
What makes KoraLagoon Substrat unique?
It is composed of multiple grades of aragonite particles that mimic natural lagoon substrates and support balanced biological activity.
How does KoraLagoon Substrat support reef aquariums?
It promotes biochemical processes such as nitrification and denitrification within the substrate, helping maintain water quality.
What elements does KoraLagoon Substrat release?
It continuously releases calcium, carbonate, strontium, magnesium, potassium, and numerous trace elements to support reef organisms.
How does KoraLagoon Substrat help stabilize pH?
The release of carbonate and buffering compounds helps maintain stable pH levels in marine aquariums.
What percentage of calcium and carbonate does it contain?
It contains over 39 percent calcium and 57 percent carbonate by dry weight, supporting reef-building processes.
What types of aquariums can use KoraLagoon Substrat?
It is suitable for reef aquariums of all sizes, including nano reef systems, as well as refugia and filtration systems.
Can KoraLagoon Substrat be used in refugiums?
Yes, it is ideal for refugia, seagrass beds, macroalgae systems, and mangrove setups that rely on substrate-based filtration.
How does it help reduce waste in aquariums?
It facilitates natural reduction of organic and nitrogenous waste through biological activity within the substrate.
Does KoraLagoon Substrat support coral growth?
Yes, it provides essential elements and conditions that encourage the growth of corals, macroalgae, and other reef organisms.
Why is a multi-grade substrate beneficial?
Different particle sizes create zones within the substrate that support various biological processes and improve overall system stability.
Can it be used in nano reef systems?
Yes, it is particularly effective in nano reef aquariums where stable chemistry and efficient filtration are critical.
What natural environment does KoraLagoon Substrat replicate?
It replicates protected lagoon environments found within coral reef systems, where fine sediments support diverse marine life.
What types of organisms benefit from this substrate?
Seagrasses, macroalgae, soft corals, large-polyp stony corals, and detritivores benefit from the environment it creates.
