Hello, sorry for taking advantage of this open post. I have already read different posts in the forum about how to raise nitrates, but after reading so much, I am a bit confused (mainly in how to prepare the mix solution)

I'm going to use calcium nitrate tetrahydrate ACS 99%. My question is: to prepare the solution, would it be to add 100g to 1L of RO water???
And then, I will use the dosing calculator to see when I add to my system. (using the potassium nitrate option). For example, with that solution, in a tank of 1000L, 1ml of solution will increase 0,06ppm Nitrate.

Is that right? Thank you! :)

The linked calculator lets you pick your own stock solution for dosing, and that one is fine.
