I’m toying with the idea of dosing ammonia instead of nitrate.
How much ammonia is equivalent to my present schedule?
I am currently dosing potassium nitrate (sodium nitrate is difficult to get hold of in the UK (note to self: must buy potassium test kit)). My stock solution is 7 tbs to 1 litre of RO. I dose 30ml over a 24hr period which currently holds nitrate at a steady 5ppm in my 180g tank.
Its seems ammonia has also become a little difficult to get but I have found lab grade but is 33.5% solution.
Is there a known calculation for X amount of ammonia will yield X amount of nitrate?
