AEFW tank treatment with Potassium chloride

[Proteus]

Is there a recipe for a dip... Grams or tbsp per litre kinda thing

Need to test your tank's potassium level than elevated to around 1500ppm.

Yes.. I don't want to do tank treatment.. Just as a dip.. But I believe it's 11grams per litre will give you 1500ppm

Just make sure you get a good test kit, the one we used just couldn't go that high even though we cut the volume of test water down by half. I did raise the potassium level pretty high without an ill effect to the corals. FYI

Thank you

Imagine the chloride buildup in your system after buffing up potassium to 1500ppm.

A massive water change would be needed to get back to normal levels.

For sure!
