High Potassium

[WVReefJunkie]

I have been having rising Potassium levels to 475 ppm per icp. The only additives used Mrs.Wages pickling lime through a Kalk reactor, and Calcium Chloride for Calcium. I know the Calcium Chloride has Potassium as so does ESV Part 2, but the amounts are not mentioned in what quanities.Do you think if I switch to ESV Part 2 with water changes could keep Poatssiun within range?

My potassium usually runs around that level, nothing seems bothered by it

I was just concerned about the upward trend of Potassium.

Some calcium chlorides do have substantial potassium as noted there. Are you doing water changes?

Using the ESV two part won’t raise potassium. It will actually lower it when it is elevated.

Iam doing water changes, I reached out to BulkFoods but they were closed. I think Iam going to switch back to ESV. I am also using Fritz Blue box, which has a Potassium of 430
