Ok fair enough, but wouldn't nitrates at 80 and say phosphate at .5 grow it ?
Yes, but not as fast, I'll also start dosing phosphates with the ammonia.

I am doing all of this because I am planning to add fish next month so I want the macro to establish enough as to maintain the bioload (i am not really a fan of doing a lot of water changes) since there's no fish right now I can experiment as much as I can to see which yields better results

What i am trying to achieve is macroalgae growth. I've personally found that the type of macro algae species which i am growing consumes ammonia more readily so i am letting it grow as big enough to be able to consume all my nitrates
Oh right thank you for helping me understand that . I ain't trying to be funny of nothing, just trying to understand.

No worries at all! I appreciate you trying to understand since it is a little confusing, it gets confusing because it is widely believed that macro only consumes nitrates, but not many know the fact that some plants use nitrates and convert it to ammonium to absorb it better
