recently attended a webinar,coral growth and coloration..no risk to corals even at 600.however the test kits max out at 470 so you need triton to test at some point.it was indicated that when you hit 550ish you will see a difference in hours.ive been dosing 20ml day w doser for about 6 weeks,pinned the test kit at 470 but not sure how high i am yet

91g total
Just a FYI,
I'm holding 80 gal total.
Been using the ABC+ powder and it already has colors A and B in it. So I dose Colors C & D with the ABC+ powder and my corals have never been better. I do have to dose up alk separately about every two weeks.

My Apex DOS pumps have been collecting dust since last November.

If you can get the ABC+ to balance out for your 91 gal then you will love it.

If you give it a shot then you dose 1ml of colors C & D to every 13.3 grams of the ABC+ powder.

For myself it's been so easy to use and my colors have never been better.

If your happy then don't change. I just wanted to toss it out there.

Regards, GoVols

Part b..

Can also buy a dry mix of potassium salts, chloride-sulfate... brightwell makes a powder that i use. I dont see an issue of K being at 360, but ive benefitted from raising it from the same levels your trying to accomplish now.

Google potassium chloride reef tank dosing. You can buy potassium chloride powder (get the bulk powder) dirt cheap off of amazon or BulkSupplements.com. I add 1 level Tbs to 100 gal and it raised K about 20 ppm.

Word of warning: Raise K slooooowly! I killed 2 fish by raising it 50 ppm over about 8 hours. Now I only raise it 20 ppm in one day.
