Hello,
Recently I have been battling zero nitrates in my tank, which I believe has been causing problems. I’d like to slowly start dosing nitrates, and I’ve identified that food or Reagent grade sodium nitrate would be my best source for boosting nitrate in the aquarium. Is it acceptable to dissolve sodium nitrate directly into my kalk resevoir, which holds saturated kalkwasser? I dose kalk every hour with a persistaltic pump, so this would be an easy yet controlled way to dose nitrate.
Secondly, does anybody have a good source of where to buy food/reagent/pharmaceutical grade sodium nitrate they can share with me? Struggling to decide where to buy it from.
Thanks in advance for the help!
