Ok thanks buddy...

again alot of us who are dosing potassium do it because we have low levels to begin with AND run zeovit... i dont know about the rest of you but i believe that zeo either leaches potassium from the water or encourages corals to use it to "color up" maybe its a little of both. Because of our(zeovit users) low levels we have to add small doses daily to maintain our level at 400.

to me, zeolith absorbed most of everything in the water for coral to starve and then you dose food, and other supplements back to the water for them to color up or survive.

i also use Zeo, so i was just wondering if anyone came up with a stock solution to maintain 400 level or any way to rule out how much is used in zeo tanks...

Boomer posted a paper listing what is preferentially absorbed by the zeolite clinoptilite and potassium was high on the list.

Someone with search capabilities will have to find it, it's in this forum and Habib confirmed IIRC.

I forgot but do you guys know that GFO's suck up K+ like a sponge ?

If that's true then its a way bigger issue than just zeolith users. James

From seawater? Sounds unlikely to me.

aware of this current K debate, i noticed a bottle of club soda has these ingredients: carbonated water, potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate
would the citrate be bad? i know the k cl and k bicarbonate have been listed as possible supplements, so i figured i would throw this out there.

What a different between Zeovit and Zeolite? I'm confused.

Club soda is not a good way to go. The CO2 will drive down the pH too much to allow much potassium addition.

I read it months ago It was a water assay, post GFO application/treatment and not a GFO adsorption assay, like I was thinkin'. The assay's seem to indicate the water samples were not salt water at all but that is niether here nor there |

lol there really is no such thing as zeolite. A zeolite is a hydrated alumino-silicate mineral group. This mineral group is referred to as the Zeolite Group. There are about 50 natural zeolites and about 200 man-made zeolites. Zeovit is the name of a system, a trade mark like Instant Oceans. This system uses zeolites in it and is what they made their name from. Clinoptilolite, a natural zeolite, is one of the zeolites used in the system. Old fashion kitty-litter, floor dry and water softeners where all natural zeolites and were Clinoptilolite. Clinoptilolite and other zeolties are some of the most heavily mined minerals in the world. The FW ammonia removers, Nitrate Sponges are all zeolties and all most all are the zeolite Clinoptilolite. |
