There was a very brief spiel about K in a practical aquariums and water
gardens a while back. From memory the author belived that it could easily
reach 50ppm without problems and perhaps more. It is pretty easy to find
and add anyway, I usually add about a half teaspoon to my 120L tank with
a water change and then have some in a PMDD type recipe as well.
