Hey guys i started dosing potassium nitrate(spectracide stump remover) and wanted to know if i was dosing too much. Right now i'm at 100ML per day and dosed this amount for 5 days now. Mixed 10 grams to 1 liter of Rodi to make the solution. According to the calculator i have to dose 100ML to get to almost 2ppm nitrates. I have a 100 gallon tank. For the passed 5 days the nitrates have not moved from 0( readings from salifert test kit). Just wanted to know if it's safe dosing this much at a time. Corals have not responded negatively from what i can see everything is doing fine. Thanks
 
If your not getting a reading keep dosing. Be careful. There will come a point where your tank will stop absorbing it and bam. You'll have a crazy spike. Test every single day
