ESV Transition Elements
FYI......At the meeting this new product from Bob S and Joe Y was being discussed with a few bottles raffled. For those inquiring on where to purchase the reg TE and the plus I got mine at Aquarium Village.

Hey Mike....it may not be long enough for you to answer this but have you noticed a change since using the product? I have been reading about potassium dosing....I don't even know what my levels are but I just purchased a test kit and will test when I receive it.

Frank,
I have a pink Goniopora that stayed the same for 4 years. With this product it has started growing. Potassium I have no idea but there are 2 versions, one for nitrates over 5 & 1 for under 5.

Frank I’ve only been using it a couple of weeks and don’t really notice any change except some cyno which I can’t say if that’s the cause. I’m carbon dosing so I’m using the regular.
I would worry to much about potassium unless you r tank is heavily populated with SPS. I’ve been dosing potassium, strontium, iodine and although the TE has potassium in it I don’t think it’s much because it hasn’t effect the amount I have to daily dose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m currently dosing 25ml of ESV Potassium a day to try and maintain a level of 380+.

I purchased the Salifert Potassium test kit and had a reading of 360ppm....I didn't test the Reef Crystals (salt mix for water changes) to see what those levels are. I purchased the brightwell Potassium-P and mixed up a solution...added about 8 ounces dripped slowly to my sump and the next day tested again....370ppm. So...I am going to repeat (only increasing by a max of 10ppm per day) until I hit 400ppm. Then I'll try to establish how much to dose daily/weekly to maintain that level....after I see how Potassium is effected from a water change (6% weekly/approximately 18 gallons).

Regarding adding ESV Transition Elements: do you drip the amount into your tank over a period of time or just pour the whole amount into a high flow area all at once?
thanks

Dosing @ once requires doing it within a few hrs. of the lights coming on.
That's how I do it now but just got a single doser to do it for me when not around.

I really can’t see any significant difference, but it can’t hurt so I’m still dosing it ....however I did change my potassium dosing product. Because of the amount I’m dosing. The ESV contains iodide.

for my total water volume (320 gallons) it's only 8ml for the first week....so I just dumped it into the sump during the peak photo period. I guess if I were to dose it I could either dilute it in RODI and drip OR get another pump for my litermeter III and dose it directly from the gallon container.

I'm using Brightwell Aquatics Potassion-P - Powdered Potassium Solution.....I drip this from my pre-made solution into the sump usually at night. I haven't noticed a change yet either. I'm reading about 380ppm currently and trying to get this up to 400, (I started at 360ppm). Time will tell regarding any benefits..... Frank
