Seachem Reef Potassium

Reef Potassium™ 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 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. Directions: Beginner Use 1 cap (5 mL) per 160 L (40 US gallons) twice a week or as needed to maintain desired potassium levels. Advanced The beginner dose raises potassium by 3 mg/L. To target a specific potassium level, increase dose according to the following formula: 0.01vn=m where v= volume of tank in liters, n=desired potassium increase, and m= volume of product to use in ml. For example, to raise 160 liters by 3 mg/L potassium you would use 0.01*160*3 resulting in 5 mL to dose. For reference: 1 US gallon=3.8 L. The Reef Pack™ NPK takes reef supplementation to the next level. In many reef aquariums, supplementation with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can enhance coral and macroalgae growth and color. Reef Nitrogen™ It is important to maintain nitrogen levels along with phosphorus levels in order to allow for optimal growth and coloration of corals and macroalgae. Supplementing with inorganic nitrogen provides a targeted means of increasing nitrogen without also adding phosphate or dissolved organics. Reef Phosphorus™ Phosphorus is an essential element required in metabolic processes, protein synthesis, and growth of corals and macroalgae. Supplementing with Reef Phosphorus™ provides a targeted means of increasing phosphorus concentrations effectively without also adding dissolved organics.
