Just our of curiosity, what color is the trace mix you use? eg. Seachem Flourish, CSM, or the trace mix powder after dissolving in water from hydrophonic store, etc. :)

Plantex is amber.....same for Flourish only a bit darker.
If I remember correctly, CSM is similar.

Thanks Len.
I was just making a small batch of trace myself and noticed the pH was like 2 or something and had yellow color. Then I adjusted the pH to around 7 (ok i know it's really not that important :p ), and the color turned dark green and got very heavy (iron?) precipitation. Then making the pH back up to acidic made the stuffs redissolve and yellow again. Then when I went back home and looked at it... it became amber(brownish yellow)!
hum ok i guess i'm too bored :p
