i don't want one with trace elements i want the one that is exactly like oud wolf one

what trace elements are in the one you are reccomending?

As listed
95% Sodium Nitrate
Below 2% Potassium
Below 1% Chloride
Below 2% Sulphate
Below 0.5% Magnesium
Below 0.2% Calcium
0.01% Perchlorate
Below 0.01% Iodate

A little off what you're asking, but Brightwell NeoNitro is now offered at 5x potency if ordered directly from Brightwell.

We just ordered some and curious to see when it comes in.

this is way more expensive then DIY style IMO that is the main problem as we don't like the brightwell because it raised potassium

ahh ok is there one you can recommend that is mostly sodium nitrate with no other trace? we dont mind paying more for it.

the 1st one you recommended does that have trace?

Loudwolf was 100% Sodium Nitrate with no additives according to their SDS, which will make that harder to find.

Lab alleys is 99.8% pure with 4mg per Kilogram pb (lead), possibly as a byproduct of transport and manufacture.

do you think this lead can cause a buildup in our tanks?

It's a concern, which is why I mention it.

a cheap filter would allow the sodium nitrate solution to pass through but leave the lead behind. Really would like @Randy Holmes-Farley to chime in on this one.

what do you think about using loudwolf Calcium nitrate Randy mentioned that as well in another thread

then maybe a cheap filter is the way to go just in case with any of these products LOL what kinda of cheap filter?

I don't have any experience with Calcium Nitrate, so unfortunately I'm not much help there.

I would imagine the monolithic carbon or coconut fiber carbon filters would take out most if not all of the lead, most of them are designed for heavy metal filtration.

I'm thinking of testing here to see if it still gives the same nitrate concentration.

The reagent grade stuff you were asking about a couple pages back is as pure as you'll find. https://noahchemicals.com/blog/reagent-laboratory-technical-chemistry-grades-explained/

I would use that, rather than trying to filter out lead.

which reagent grade one would you reccomend?

which reagent grade one would you reccomend?

Any of them, they are literally all the same for our purposes -- reagent grade is just chemistry jargon for chemically-pretty-much-pure.

Wow amazing.I couldn’t stop looking.

Happy New Years everyone!

Do you use filter socks or roller? I am sometimes worried bleach or detergent gets stuck in my socks when I was them but not sure if I'm being paranoid

We don't use sox or rollers. It's just another thing we would have to clean

I didn’t know NeoNitro raised potassium. I’ve been using it a lot lately so good to know, thank you.

Now that I’m looking into it, the ESV Nitrate says that it does not contain potassium by-products. However, it may be even more expensive.

i had an issue becouse we where dosing heavy using neonitro and the Potassium did rise.

i would suggest just making your own blend its way way cheaper

you can use Loudwolf Calcium Nitrate
