My Heloc mortgage co has gone bankrupt, now my equity is frozen. Will it remain that way?

Additional Details
It has been sold to another co and the customer service people do not know when or if it will become available to me again.

@Sam, Seachem Flourish Potassium is Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4) while their Flourish Nitrogen is Potassium Nitrate (KNO3). HTH.

Seachems Flourish Potassium is a liquid KNO3 or Potassium nitrate, not KCl. Its plant food, algae fuel, wouldn’t be good in a reef IMO.

Hi Brandon,

Funny you should say that I was just looking into it. I would imagine it could be mixed with KCl in the same ratio as the DIY Mag supplements in order to balance the sulfate and chloride ions in our systems. Then again with the frequent water changes most ULNS reefers use the sulfate isn’t likely to cause much harm.

I have yet to hear of anyone using it, but there are some seachem FW products (such as Flourish K) that I see could cross over to our reefs.

Curious if you guys have heard of anyone using Seachem’s FW Flourish Potassium supplement? According to the website it is 50,000 ppm potassium derived from potassium sulfate, and it can be had fairly cheap.
