Yep, cheap and easy. I dose with an X1 pump, though you can just add manually each day. Went from undetectable to ~5ppm pretty easily.

By far the best choice for nitrate dosing is food grade or ACS reagent grade sodium nitrate (e.g., from Amazon).

It is far cheaper than the Brightwell product described above and is of known composition and purity (unlike the Brightwell).

The item for sale is 4 Ounces (113 Grams) of Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3). Sodium Nitrate, also known as Chile Salt Petr, is a white powder which is very soluble in water. For Potassium Nitrate, check out our other listing. Our bottles are made of durable Polyp

Would you dose this in the same manner/directions as the Brightwell stuff?

I'm not sure what Brightwell recommends, but I'd dose 2-3 ppm per day, adjusting as you need to to get about where you want to be.
