TROPIC MARIN - Components Potassium - 500ml

Why is potassium essential in a reef aquarium?

Potassium is a fundamental element for the proper functioning of coral metabolism and the ionic balance of seawater. It is naturally present in seawater at a concentration of approximately 408 mg/l , but its level can vary depending on consumption by corals and invertebrates. A potassium deficit can alter the coloration of corals , especially hard corals, and compromise their development. It is therefore essential to monitor and maintain an optimal potassium level in the reef aquarium.

Precise and safe dosage

With its stabilized formula , Tropic Marin Components Potassium guarantees a safe and controlled intake. Every 10 ml added per 100 liters of water increases the potassium concentration by 10 mg/l . It is recommended not to exceed 20 ml per 100 liters per day in order to maintain an optimal balance without the risk of excess. Thanks to its measuring cap and integrated dropper, the dosage is both precise and simple, ensuring effective correction of potassium deficiencies.

A perfect balance for optimal growth

Properly adjusted potassium levels improve coral resilience and their ability to absorb other essential elements such as calcium and strontium . This supplement is particularly beneficial for SPS and LPS corals, which naturally consume more potassium. Long-term stability of this parameter helps maintain a healthy environment , avoiding any ionic imbalance that could impact aquatic flora and fauna.

ICP analysis: precise monitoring for perfect control

Adding potassium should be done carefully to avoid any imbalance. For optimal adjustment, it is highly recommended to perform a Tropic Marin ICP analysis . This advanced method accurately measures potassium concentration and other essential water parameters. By performing regular checks, you ensure that your supplementation is adapted to the real needs of your aquarium, for a perfectly healthy reef.
