Not often discussed, how important is potassium?
Kno3 and po4 are obviously the most consumed in a thriving tank, magnesium seems to be as long as there's some same as traces but potassium you don't hear much about.
I noticed that on a calc and on Clives EI article 30ppm a week is recommended which seems pretty much covered by the K in the kno3 and po4, well just shy actually. But in a situation where you were reducing kno3 and po4 would you supplement with more K or assume that using less of the others by default also means less demand on K and the whole thing being decreased pro rata?
Does less demand of one mean a less demand for all generally?
