I recently started dosing NaNO3 to maintain my nitrates at a target of 3ppm. I bought food grade NaNO3 on loudwolf.com, which was pretty inexpensive and got me thinking... what other elements or compounds could i dose myself?
I have a large tank, so most additives and systems like KZ or triton are just too expensive for me. But if I could replicate a similar concept and dose NO3, PO4 (both currently at zero) and other things like potassium, iodine and iron, it may be pretty attractive.
Does anyone have experience doing this? Would be great to hear people's thoughts as to whether this would make sense.
