I'm not particularly a fan of this company's results, but the one thing I'd do is boost the potassium, as you suggest. Nothing else looks problematic to me.

How are you supplementing calcium and alk (if any)?

Which companies do you prefer?

My only preference is to not use this one. I really don't have data to distinguish the others, but Triton seems to have done a good job developing this method. :)

The thread below details it. They came in and also participated in the thread.

They seem to have a poor understanding of seawater chemistry and have clear issues with some of the reported values (some of which they admit are wrong).

Interesting.... Well, im local in co so that's why I did the tedt and the price but wont in the future. I wasn't a huge fan of the store in the first place but this just adds another tick in the negative for them.

What potassium kit do you suggest because id like to raise that up safely
