potassium

[Bebo77]

Bringing this thread back to life, hopefully.

Anyone have before and after pics of potassium correction in their tanks?

Bebo77 or anyone else, are you still using the KCL powder to keep K levels up? If so, how often much and how often do you dose?

Thanks.

no sorry.. im fowlr now.

RESURRECT TIME!
Got my results from AWT today and my potassium is at 213ppm low!
I think if i raise it it will really help out my corals so i ordered 2 8oz bottles of potassium chloride powder using the dosing info at

Please let us know how it goes.

Please let us know how it goes.

I will do that, figured with the AWT test results i could get a better bottom line on my waters quality and see were problem areas are and fix them. Some of my tests kits were off not out of date but off from the results from AWT.

I got my potassium chloride in made my full dose mix a per instructions on the web site im raising K levels around 10ppm per day slowly dripping it into the sump each day should be over 300 ppm when finished.

There's an earlier post in this thread #284 by Randy Farely that notes the AWT tests usually report low K nos. while other tests confirm significantly higher levels. I'd be sure to confirm the 213 ppm result reported before dosing.

I went with ELOS we will see how well it works?

You are welcome. Good luck. Let us know how the Elos works. I use the salifert K test; works well IME.
