Hi R2R fans!
Here I have another write up this time about potassium nitrate.
With this I hope to answer all the questions I have received.
This step by step is for my 80 gallons total volume.
I run the full triton method so your uptake of no3 will be different than mine.
First lets start with the product.
Potassium nitrate
This is what the Spectracide stump remover consists of.
There are many sources for this if you look it up. My wife is an Amazon shopper so that is where I got mine. You can find potassium nitrate every where!
(Sorry my tablet doesn't take the best shots lol )
Now lets move on to mixing this stuff!
Grab yourself a set of measuring spoons. Put 2 tablespoons in a clear plastic cup
Now fill the cup to the first line with RODI water
Stir well!
It will come out clear and doesn't take long to mix
Now after dosing make sure you put it in a sealed container!
Now lets get to dosing this stuff
You will want to have plenty of no3 tests on hand to start out. Your no3 will decrease substantially over night so you have to keep an eye on it. I was testing every day till I figured my daily consumption rate (which changes slightly day to day)
Now in my 80 gallons of volume 10Ml of this will raise my no3 by 1.5 ppm
Here is a before shot taken today
I added 10Ml of my solution and waited an hour to re-test
Bingo! Right on the nose
Now I get a lot asking "is this safe? Does this increase potassium ?" The straight simple answer??
No
Here is 30 days of use. Triton ICP test
I will get a better picture of this for some reason my d40 shots are missing from my sd card
I hope this answers a lot of questions and thank you for reading
