Potassium is found in concentrations comparable to calcium in NSW, but most salt mixes are no where near this value. 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?

Bumpity !! (Just noticed I never got an answer to this. Apparently I forgot all about it, but now that I've read this question again, the desire to know the answer burns my cognitive psyque with all sorts of dissonance .. )
