FAQ's about Potassium
Q. What is Potassium?
A. Potassium is a soft silvery-white alkali metal that oxidizes rapidly. Natural seawater contains about 380 ppm potassium.
Q. Why do we need Potassium?
A. Potassium ion is necessary for the function of all living cells. A deficit in potassium can result in lightened colors in SPS, weak growth, and tissue recession. Most artificial saltwater is deficient in potassium and requires this additive to maintain natural seawater levels.
Q. When should I add Potassium?
A. Most people will need to add potassium every time they do a water change, depending on the type of artificial salt that's used. Test your water to understand your consumption and add weekly, as needed.
Q. Who needs Potassium?
A. Anyone who keeps organisms that deposit calcium carbonate skeletons like SPS and LPS corals or who wants to keep their water parameters at natural levels may need potassium.
Q. How much Potassium should I add?
A. The amount of potassium you need can be found using Thrive Analytics and is based on a review of the current amount of potassium and the size of your tank. Thrive Analytics will use the information you enter to provide you with the information you need to properly maintain your potassium level.
General Information
What makes Thrive 6 Potassium different from other potassium supplements?
- Support - Thrive Aquatics make accurate dosing easy with our online tool, Thrive Analytics. This complementary tool monitors and prescribes custom dosing information and recommendations based on your current tank parameters to help you fulfill your reef keeping goals.
- High concentrations - Thrive 6 Potassium is a saturated solution of potassium sulfate and potassium chloride. This means you won't find this blend of potassium any stronger. You may find stronger solutions made with more potassium chloride, but Thrive Aquatics feel that too much potassium chloride may brown corals.
