Hi Randy good to see you!
What's your opinion on dosing no3?
I have recovered my sps from near death (from flatworm toxins)
I am writing an article about dosing potassium nitrate and would love to hear your feedback.
I wish you a great day!
I think that there is the potential to drop nutrients too low in some systems, and if that happens, dosing can be desirable.
That said, I think most reefers have plenty of nitrate or other nitrogen sources, and can just back off on the export methods if it does get low. For example, less organic carbon dosing, less macroalgae, smaller ATS, etc.
