Low potassium levels with any probiotic methodology can be a root cause of STN in SPS corals.
So is Potassium something you can/should dose on a Zeovit tank, or is it more a case of, you should use a salt mix that has a better potassium level to begin with? What's the recommendation for that, generally?
