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!
