Potassium

primetime · Feb 29, 2008

Is there a test kit for Potassium? I have some of the Warner Marine potassium but do not want to dose if its not necessary.

Thankyou,
Brock

If you use Zeovit then you need to dose it.

I use Prodibio.

Yes there are two kits available. Fauna Marin and KZ ZEOvit. The FM one is easier to read. Both kits are in the $45+ range.

I signed up for AWT testing instead. They include Potassium in the 14 parameter panel.

Should be interesting to see what your existing levels are. Potassiums main advantages are bringing out the blues in the tank.

I would use potassium, but I dose Kent Stronti & Moly which already has potassium in it. Bonus I guess

Thanks Richard!!!
Lagger, thats exactly what I want to improve. My "blues" are not deep enough in my opinion.

The K+ kits SUCK, might as well throw it away... you are better off sending in a water sample to AWT....

Talk about Blue...Have you try to dose this PotassiumIodide Fluoride in your tank. You do not need to use Zeovit. You can see a result in couple days.

PotassiumIodide Fluoride is coming from Zeovit Additives.

Enhances blue colors, especially in certain acropora species.
Dosage: 1 drop per 25 gallons per day

At 5 drops a day, how long will that little bottle last?
