Does K2SO4 bad for shrimps?

Does dossing K2SO4 bad for shrimps?

I play around with those Chuck's calculator and found that I need to add extra K, so I add K2SO4. After few days of dossing I notice that my shrimps are dieing. So I did 80% water changes and dose without K2SO4, now seems to be stable.

I follow EI dossing and about 30%-40% weekly water change.

Is it possible that too much K bad for shrimps? or SO4 bad for shrips?

Not an issue definitely....something else is going on there.

OK thanks, let me try dossing K2SO4 again and see what happen.

If more 50% of the NO3 comes from KNO3, you do not need additional K+.

I have lots of plants, low bioload about 30 cherry shrimp in 2ft tank and 3 otos. CO2 turn off 30 minutes before light off.

Plants are healthy, I was just playing around with Chuck's calculater and found out that my K is off the recomended ppm. So I dosse some K2SO4 to see if there is any different in plant grow. So far I can't see any different.

Bro, i got the same problem.

I'm back in dossing K2SO4, 2 weeks now so far no problem. I guess probably something else causing it.

bro, do you have anymore problems dosing K2SO4? I'm thinking of giving it a try to see if it works.

Go ahead and add your K2SO4. No problems for my [yamato] shrimps for years.
