|  monti loosing colour So i got a monti frag about 2 months ago and when i got it it wasn't the nice green as in the pic, more like a dark grey color has been doing good but the colour is drasticly fading went to green now loosing all colour to a pale white. All my other monti's,birds nest,acro's are doing good. There's 2 pics  one monti is really colourful has always been like that and you can see the diff from the other one is it bleaching out? I believe it came from a tank with led's i'm only running 4x54w t5's,it has taking around 2 months to have this color change anyone have any idea's here are my par.. sal 1.025 NO3 1-2 phos doesn't register using api test kit alk 8 cal 330 mag 1300-1320 temp 79.5-80 Everything remains stable i dose everyday.

|   I started using All In One bio pellets about 2 months now and been reading that they suck up potassium, does anyone know of a good diy potassium solution or is it just easier after i test to buy the product from a lfs instead. Would be nice to save a little money were i can if it's not to much of a pain in the butt. |
