I am dosing nitrate and phosphate because I dose vodka and both nutrients fell to 0. But what I am seeing is that the phosphate is being used up a lot and the nitrate is not being used. I can put in enough phosphate that I get a reading of .043 and the next day it is gone nitrate stays the same. Is this right? or a problem?
