I wouldn't imagine that orp raises potassium, considering orp is oxidation/reduction potential. And it has to do with what species will deal with positive or negative electrodes.

And what we usually measure (orp) is more or less measuring any changes in the system and not so much the volts (which can be measured to, probably on a more accurate scale then just orp)]]> Sat, 31 Jul 2010 22:54:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369847&title=potassium#369847 <![CDATA[Potassium : Does orp raise potassium levels?...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369835&title=potassium#369835 Author: bugzme

Just lately there was a thread about Vitamin C improving color.
The colors of coral in my tanks that receive sunlight are vibrant.
What kind of lighting do you have?]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:49:56 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369686&title=potassium#369686 <![CDATA[Potassium : So i&#039;m taking it as water...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369644&title=potassium#369644 Author: chosen1

So i'm taking it as water changes and food is all you need. But what happens when those things you do are just not enough to tweak the colors that you want? Is there any research that you guys know of that will tell me what kind of chemicals will give you that extra push to get those bright colors?]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:14:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369644&title=potassium#369644 <![CDATA[Potassium : SGH360 wrote:The only thing...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369641&title=potassium#369641 Author: Mark Peterson

Surely you are also dosing Alkalinity, right?

The typical hobbyist reef aquarium will do fantastic if the hobbyist simply watches Alk and Ca, adding these two components according to the need indicated by testing.

Personally, even when I was farming coral for a living, I never specifically added K (potassium). It's in the fish food and coral food and may also be in the additives I used, like Kent Coral-Vite. Smile

I agree with Jeff. The need to supplement trace elements depends on how much of what kind of coral in what size of tank.

Im using Oceanic Salt too ever since i started this hobby. I dont dose alk. There isnt enough acidic material to lower the ph check it every, with my calcium at 400 ppm. I manage to keep my DKH at 11. I own a 29G tank with a 29G sump.  perhaps i need to post a picSmile]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:34:23 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369639&title=potassium#369639 <![CDATA[Potassium : SGH Do you know for sure what...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369582&title=potassium#369582 Author: bugzme

SGH Do you know for sure what your salt mix replenishes in your tank? Surely you dose alk.
Sorry but I don't know how big your tank is or what's living in it.

The only thing i dose is Calcium, Strotinum and magnesium each week once i month i do water change and that will replace all of the necessary elements i do not dose.]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:20:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42537&PID=369577&title=potassium#369577
