I only dose 5ml bi-weekly to maintain 380 - 400. How long have you been dosing this amount?

Does Brightwell have a dedicated forum where you can get more help on their product line?

I have been doing this for about 4 months. I am doing half the recommended for my tank.

I have had that happen with a few of their products their reef bio fuel and Micro bacter 7 that I run as well. Not to sure what to think about all that.
I have almost the same results color wise in my 150 without additives.
I added fish now and will have to feed them so it will be harder to see what the real results are now.

I'm with Dan on that one, too many things to dose.

Has anyone noticed any positives results right away when they started dosing the Pottasium? How long does it take to see results?

I've been maintaining Potassium at 380-400 ppm for about a month, and I haven't seen a difference yet. I was told the blues would really pop when I started dosing, but my blues are already quite good from dosing PIF, so who knows? I'm hoping the Potassium dosing will increase growth as I would like my tank to fill in a bit quicker!
