I've been reading a lot lately on the importance of Potassium in the reef tank so I figured I'd grab a Salifert test kit (easiest to test potassium with) and a bottle of Brightwell Aquatics Potassium with my next fix of a shipment.
OK shipment came today and here is what I've found out so far.
My Potassium level was at 280. From what I've read 390-410 is the optimum range.
I'm not exactly sure what to expect by keeping the levels in check other than a healthier reef but I have been struggling a little with some of my SPS lately and maybe this is just one piece of the puzzle I'm missing.
Does anyone have any more information on who, what , where and why Potassium is so important and does anyone test for it in their tank?
