Salifert Potassium test kits

[Pappy]

I know this isn't probably pertinent to most people unless they run zeovit or other ULNS systems but......The only potassium test kit I've been happy with has been Salifert! Does anyone know what's going on with their K kits and why nobody carries anymore? Has anyone tried others and opinions on them please. I have tried the Red Sea and not a fan to say the least! Thanks everyone for your input!!!

My friend told me that the NA distributor of their test kits has something to do with it... I just don't know the reason why they don't have them.

Bump for input? Kz, fauna, elos? Thx everyone

Hey Pappy,

I'm pretty low on my Potassium reagent, but I can test your water for you if you mail me a water sample. I would keep your daily dosing as stable as possible (if you aren't already) and I can test your levels. At the very least you will know if you need to dose more or less on a daily basis. This should be able to get you by until the test kits become available again. My forest fire digi is my potassium canary. If the polyps start to become retracted and the color is off, I know I am low on potassium. Same thing with other montis. They have a tendency to look less than stellar once your potassium gets to 350 or less.

+1 . It's what I did in the past . yeah , monti caps that lighten up were an indicator of low potassium. If one keeps a birdsnest it's also a great potassium meter too.
