Tell me more about the K+ business. What are the levels that you are shooting for? What were your levels before?
my levels before were around 220, and you need to shoot for 380-420 (about the same as calcium)

You can get it at any health food store or hydroponics place. I will caution you that Over Dosing on K will kill fish. I know, it's not fun.

But other than that look for a salt higher in K like RBS or Seachem. then you don't have to dose as much

I have read the guide and it says that there are 3 different kinds of the stones involved.
The questions are :
1-When you need less then 1/4 of the bag; are you getting all 3 kinds of ZEO rocks in the mix? And how do you know how to tell one kind from the other?
2- The guide indicates that to calculate NET water volume you need to take20% off the volume (for the live rock )use 60% of the volume and then use 20% less for the first set up so what would that be for your tank? I think 240ml is more than what your tank needs if i read the guide correctly...

thx.
