    mixing potassium permangante and how should it be used

    Hi discus guys. I was wondering if any one can tell me how to mix pp and how it should be used. I know it is different with all tanks but is there a basic color I should look for? I was thinking about useing a old prime 500ml 16.9 fl oz bottle also
