Add Potassium how?

[-=Almazick=-]

I use Flourish Seachem and Plant Gro (Iron Enriched) and just realized that
they don't have any Potassium. I get yellow pinholes in older and slow
growing leaves. Where can I buy Potassium for my tank? Local fresh plants
store or PetCO?

In my case I went to Lowes and bought a bag of potassium cloride, typically
used in water softeners. It comes in nugget form and one crushed nugget equals
about 2 tsp. The nuggets readily disolve without crushing.
Depending on tank size one $8 bag at about 40 pounds will last one a _very_
long time.

Seachem makes a great potassium supplement, so... wherever you get the other
Seachem products will either have it or can order it.

I bought a 40# bag of KCL water softener pellets for $8.25. That will take
an army of plant keepers 10 years to deplete!

Potassium can also be dosed in the form of "NO SALT".
Or, Potassium Nitrate aka Salt Petre...
