I was always a ZERO NO3 and PHO4 believer but realized corals (SPS dominant) where Blah. Mainly in color. I feed heavy, and have a nice sized fuge. Had reservations about feeding a Stump remover to my tank, but read about the 97% purity KNO3 available. Started dosing at 0.5ppm/day for approx 2 weeks. NO3 went from zero to 2 ppm in that 2 week period. The cheato in my fuge lit by a Kessil light started to grow again instead of disintegrating. I dropped the dose to 0.25ppm/day and now its been 1.5 months. Corals have colored up dramatically. Frags have encrusted like never before. NO3 is still at 2ppm per salifert. Potassium per Triton test is with in normal levels.
Is it the impurities in the stump remover? Dont know, never will.
This is just my anecdotal input into this very interesting thread.
Cheers.
