+1 here. 1 cap TA potassium once weekly.
use Korallen Zucht Kalium test
(i admit that i dont test very frequently)

Thanks guys! Looks like at the very least most people who dose it or have dosed it believe it does something. Once my K-Balance runs out I'm going to stop dosing for 3 months and see if I notice any difference. Right now, I'm just not sold on it.

I just add 5 mL K-Balance Strong to my weekly 10 gallon water change. That puts it off the chart on the KZ kit if I test the water change water, but it keeps my tank 380-400 ppm. I went onto Zeovit forums for pictures of test solution at 350, 380 and 400 ppm so I could tell when I test it. I also put the test solution under a bright white fluorescent bulb to read it. I feel confident reading the kit now, but I think it is still a 10 ppm guess each direction.

I use the same stuff but do 0.5ml everyday in a 25gal.
