Potassium Permanganate sources

Any reputable water treatment store should have it. If they sell water softeners or offer deionization services...they have it in granular form on their shelves. It is used in water treatment as a regnerate for iron filters (greensand) and to "freshen" up carbon exchange filters.

My buddy Steve Hampton explains how to use it on his WEB site, (which has lots of good information on it by the way) Never NEVER put it inside the aquarium.

PP sales are subject to state law so some states carry while others don't. Believe it or not, ACE Hardware may have it. This stuff is NASTY however. Have you considered an Excel bath instead? Even mild bleach solution would be easier and more likely safer.

Thanks everyone! Steve Hampton's website was particularly helpful. I'll check at Ace, and look for pool supply stores, etc. I thought to avoid shipping charges from ebay, but I've spent enough driving around at this point that I should have just ordered it!
