Hi Steve, C-V needs refrigeration & is dosed 1-3 drops/25g net vol. Without a K+ kit available as of now for hobbyist, a safe dosage for K-B is 1ml/100g net volume daily. Bob

Thanks Bob. I should ask my boss for a day off to take my Corals to the hospital cuz i just overdose them last night. I dosed 1ml per 25gals. So i added 6ml in my tank. Uh uh i see trouble.

Hi Steve, not necessarily, as K-B can be dosed higher than my guidelines in many cases but we're limited to observation reactions of our corals for now, to definitely tell if it's enough or not. Bob

So i should be dosing 1.5ml daily?

By the way, is there a K balance kit?

By the way, is there a K balance kit?

Hi Steve, not yet, there's no hobbyist-level test kits for K+. K+ test kit will hopefully be available by the marine-keeping industry in the near future. Bob

What is K+? And why do we need to test for it?

Greetings All !

What is K+? ...

K+ = potassium ion.
K is the elemental symbol for potassium.
