Potassium is a main element – like calcium, for example – and is concentrated in seawater with a value of around 390mg/L.
K-Balance contains several different potassium compounds and two other related elements in a highly concentrated form.
- Favors the growth and color development of all corals, especially in SPS such as Montipora, Stylopora, Seriatopora, Pocillopora, Acropora.
- Expanded polyp image within a short time.
- Soft corals also respond very well to the dosage!
There has been much speculation that what is known as nutrient limitation for fading and very bright appearance of corals may be the trigger for the following signs SPS coral was. Now we can say that this certainly is not and was not the case. According to our extensive tests with various aquarists, the entire coral fauna improved very positively in terms of color and growth after a few days of dosing.
Potassium deficiency is mainly noticeable as follows:
Montiporen starts to grow, the color looks washed out to grey, a strong coloration is not possible without potassium. With Poccilopore and Stylopore, it looks as if the coral had been exposed to air, the polyps are totally retracted, the color is light and without depth, almost greyish. Blue acropores are only washed out blue. In the case of seriatopores, the stick can dissolve from below within a few days. Turbinaria reniformis grows, the coral takes care of it. In addition, all corals show generated growth up to growth cessation.
Dosage: 1ml per 100L/day
