NO3/PO4 additive suggestion

[rlman41299]

I don't dose PO4 but I use loudwolf sodium nitrate as DIY. But now the sodium nitrate from loudwolf is no longer available from what I heard so might switch to calcium nitrate.

I would want to know how much that would raise potassium.

Well I am going to email them and see. I'm sure package has instructions and all that but I wanna see what they say first.

Which do you guys perfer:

BWA Neo Phos/Nitrate
ATI Nutrition N/P
MEcoral N & P
ReefMoonshiners N/P

There is no reason to get this off topic,just answer which is your favorite or which one you have tried and works best for you and why.

The answer to me will depend on what I’m trying to achieve.
If I was having a nitrates depletion issue I normally dose sodium or calcium nitrate and if I was looking for coral or algae growth ATI nutrition N works well for me.

Would this work ? I'd kinda like to support a local shop if I can.

As noted above, it will boost potassium excessively in most scenarios.

It is obvious from the description it is WAY too much potassium.

Potassium nitrate boosts potassium by 1.25 ppm for each 2 ppm nitrate.

Thus, 2 ppm nitrate per day for month boosts potassium by 39 ppm.

Alrighty then lol well I will probably skip that then on that note and go another avenue then.
