Hi all!
So I’ve been wondering why my tank is using so much potassium. I dose 10mL per day of Brightwell potassium on my 40 gallon mixed reef and it seems to still decline. I started dosing potassium in April after testing my water with a Salifert Test kit and getting a reading of 300ppm. I eventually got the potassium up to 400ppm but even with 10mL per day my potassium is still reading 380ppm. This value has been verified by a Triton ICP test. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I’ve never had to dose potassium in any of my other reef tanks. Thanks!
