LoudWolf Sodium Nitrate:

Tank: 167g
Nitrate: ~1 (red sea)
Phosphate: .06 (Hanna)
dKH: 9.1 - 9.4 (Hanna, Red Sea, Alkatronic)
pH: 8.0 - 8.2 (Milwaukee probe/Apex)

I've been upping feedings and reducing skimmer use, in order to increase nutrients. Its been working fine but not increasing Nitrate as much as Phosphate. I'd like balance it out a bit and dose Nitrate over the next week to get it to 5.

Anyway, I found this dosing calculator but it only lists Potassium Nitrate.

Is there another calculator I should try or would Potassium and Sodium be similar in dose amounts?

Good article, and the spreadsheet has an option for sodium nitrate.

Take the answer from the Planted Tank x .81 for sodium nitrate, so 100 grams of potassium nitrate = 81 grams of sodium nitrate
