I use potassium nitrate. For basically the same reasons that @drawman uses sodium the potassium element isn't enough to ever become overdosed. What potassium is in the water is readily absorbed by corals helping with improved colouration.Sounds great. I have read that sodium or potassium nitrate is used to raise NO3. Their are people that favor S or P . Having difficultly deciding which direction to take and when. What do you suggest?
I do though use sodium phosphate for the P balance. Again the sodium added is minuscule and nothing a smal water change would t take care of.
If really worried remove what you add from tank and replace with fresh h20.
Honestly though will be fine.
So no Osteo dinos for two months. Some amphidium hanging in but not sufficient to create even a bubble let alone Dino poo stains on surface.
Talking of which been three weeks sand free.
Had to scrub tonnes of hair algae off rocks over last week, it went nuts. Enough left to filter water.
