yup. people use that and sodium nitrate.has anyone tried calcium nitrate? a bag is like $5 or so.
i think this thread is on potassium nitrate (spectracide stump remover) dosing though.

Its 2 tablespoons to 2 cups RODI
Thanks!
Randy can give insight on thathas anyone tried calcium nitrate? a bag is like $5 or so.
Red sea algae control kit is what I use the no3 pro is perfect IMO
Good morning Russ!yup. people use that and sodium nitrate.

that's true. I was just wondering thoughyup. people use that and sodium nitrate.

You can use that but dosing amount I would not know.that's true. I was just wondering though
You can use that but dosing amount I would not know.
you can use either. spectracide stump remover is cheaper in the long run. imo, seachem flourish nitrogen is more readily available.
both contain potassium nitrate.
i can advise roughly how much to dose per gallon with seachem, i believe twilliard is doing a writeup on the stump remover.
1ml per 5 gallons will net you +3ppm no3.
I like to add it at first in equal small doses so I don't over shoot my desired levelCan this be added at once or should I hook up a doser?
best to take twilliards advice and go half that dose. test after an hour. then increase until desired ppm is attained.Can this be added at once or should I hook up a doser?
What your describing sounds like my tank exactly. I can't wait to try this! Can I ask how you went about starting to dose and how many gallons your tank is. I'm not sure where to start I'm not good at numbers I have 320 gallons in my system any suggestions on where to start.
Sorry if it's been asked but what test kit do you recommend? I use salifert but I have a very hard time differentiating between different shades. Was that the Red Sea kit that was posted? Is it easier than salifert?
their po4 kits always gave me false 0s. i just use red sea and hanna now.You are not alone. Especially in the red/pink area...I had a heck of time with the Salifert NO3 test kit color chart. I switched to Red Sea and I find it easier to compare using their color wheel. It is more time consuming, though.
BTW, this is by no means a slight to Salifert. They make great test kits and I use their brand for everything else....I just find that that their NO3 is especially difficult to read.

as a doctor, I understand. thanks.too much nitrate is bad. None at all is worse. Think of it like blood pressure too high is bad but none at all.... Well, I think you get the point.
