The Salifert Potassium Reef Test Kit provides a quick, accurate, and reliable method for measuring potassium levels in your reef aquarium. Potassium is an essential element in both the skeletal construction and coloration of certain corals, making regular monitoring a necessity for high-end reef keeping.
Natural saltwater potassium levels typically equal around 400 ppm. This kit helps you maintain the perfect balance to avoid deficiency.
Optimal Range: Testing should be performed to maintain Potassium (K) in an optimal range of 380 – 420 ppm.
Color Protection: Corals can become potassium deficient and lose coloration at levels of 350 ppm and lower.
Proactive Care: This kit lets you know exactly when to replenish levels before visible color loss occurs in your beautiful coral.
Why is potassium important for my corals? Potassium is a critical element used by corals for building their skeletons and developing vibrant coloration.
What happens if my potassium levels drop too low? When levels reach 350 ppm or lower, corals become deficient and often begin to lose their color.
How often should I test for Potassium? Regular testing is recommended to ensure your levels stay within the safe and optimal range of 380 – 420 ppm.
Potassium Supplements: Quickly restore your levels if they dip below 380 ppm to prevent coral bleaching or dulling.

Salifert Calcium Profi Test Kit: Since potassium and calcium are both involved in skeletal construction, monitoring both ensures complete coral health.
Coral Coloration Additives: Use alongside potassium monitoring to maximize the aesthetic beauty of your SPS and LPS corals.
