Would neo nitro work or just find some sodium nitrate? I'm still a little unclear on mixing a gallon batch and how much to dose with the sodium nitrate.
I wanted to bring this back from the dead because of some responses I read. Many are saying up your feeding, but what if you have high phos with no nitrate? I'm researching and would rather not use gfo if it's as simple as raising nitrates. I'm currently at 0 nitrate on a red sea kit and .1 phos with my Hanna.
I agree with Randy all the way. Also I believe that's the exact brand I used for my sodium nitrate that I dose in my SPS tank. When you get it we can help with dosing. Just make a stock solution and you can calculate approximately how much you want to dose.Will this do?
How many ppm can be dosed on the first dose?
Any benefit to dosing vinegar and nitrate?
probably something else. Ive been dosing it for years with great results. The main problem with dosing nitrates is that it can cause phosphate levels to plummet. Because free nitrates will stimulate algae growth to absorb all of the phosphate. It is important to test phosphate pretty frequently and make sure it stays above .03. In a normal system when nitrates are high phosphates will almost always be high as well because of the high phos content in foods.I gave up on dosing that. It seemed my corals started to get worse. It very well could have been something else, but who knows. I'm gonna try low Alk and low nutrients and see what happens. I'm just hoping the LPS do ok with an Alk of 8.
