DIY dosing Potasium Permanganate

[JDP]

Would it be advisable or reasonable to dose KMnO4 to increase my K and Mn? If so, would I use the molecular wight to add in milligrams the value my ICP test shows? See below:

PP would likely cause irreversible harm to your fish, corals, and inverts. (not to mention that your tank would turn purple)

Understood! Thank you

Do not dose it! It is the wrong form of manganese and is a very strong oxidizer, like adding bleach, IMO.
