Potassium Test Professional
Features:
For high precision determination of the potassium concentration in saltwater
Potassium is a vitally important macro-nutrient for all living beings. In natural ocean water, this alkali metal is present in an average concentration of 408 mg/l. In a saltwater aquarium, the potassium concentration is usually kept stable by regularly changing the water. Nevertheless, a lack of potassium can occur in individual aquariums tanks due to the use of zeolites and other adsorbents. One sign of a possible lack of potassium is clear discolouration of corals and retraction of polyps. The potassium level in a saltwater aquarium should be checked regularly to ensure that the level is between 380 and 420 mg/l.
With the high resolution titration test Tropic Marin® Potassium Test Professional the potassium concentrations can be determined reliably with a resolution of 5 mg/l.
Benefits:
| • | Measurement range: 300 – 500 mg/l (ppm) |
| • | Accuracy: 5 mg/l |
| • | For determining the Ca and Mg concentration in saltwater aquaria |
| • | Sufficient for approximately 50 applications |
| • | Incl. potassium standard to check function and shelf life of the test reagents |
How to correct unfavourable values
To increase the potassium concentration in case of values that are too low, we recommend using Tropic Marin® Potassium to adjust the potassium level to the natural level again and to produce an increase in the vitality of diverse corals as well. If the potassium level in the water is too high, we recommend doing a partial water change.
Shelf life and storage
