Product Description
Potassium is an essential element required in metabolic processes, protein synthesis, and growth of corals and macroalgae. In systems supported with nitrogen and phosphorus supplementation, potassium utilization rates may be increased. Supplementing with Reef Potassium™ provides a targeted means of increasing potassium concentrations effectively without also adding phosphate or dissolved organics.
In many reef aquariums, potassium supplementation can enhance coral and macroalgae growth and color – particularly red and pink colors in corals.
Reef Potassium™ is ideally suited for use with an aquavitro® sentia™ dose doser to maintain potassium at consistent concentration based on your aquarium's unique demand but is easily dosed manually as well. Ideal potassium levels will vary but generally range from 380 - 400 mg/L potassium. Reef Potassium™ contains 10% elemental potassium. Use Reef Nitrogen™ and Reef Phosphorus™ to maintain optimal nitrogen and phosphorus levels.
