Could dosing this cause phosphates to spike as well? seems as soon as I started dosing it I got a rapid growth of algae and then browning/fading
I never went above .50 ppm nitrate
I did however have a wrasse die 3 months ago and never found it, then had a random bacteria bloom so maybe it was the dead fish...just a coincidence?
I am currently doing WC's to get the phosphates down but not sure if I was causing it
Here's a recipe:
Dissolve 10 grams in 1 liter of fresh water. That 10 grams contains 6.14 grams of nitrate, so that solution is 6,140 ppm nitrate.
If you add 1 ml of the solution per 2 gallons of tank water volume, that will boost nitrate by 0.8 ppm nitrate.
if i use KNO3 that recipe its correct?
thanks
I am very nervous so I need someone to double check I am doing this right!
I am going to mix 1 teaspoon of Spectraside stump remover in 250ml of ro/di.
I am going to add 10ml of this mixture to my 55g of water volume.
It will raise my nitrates by .71ppm?
Is this correct?
.71 is high?I would def get Randy to answer this before proceeding and I am not sure why you would want to have nitrates at that high of a level?
My fault. Didn't see the ........71 and thought is was just 71..71 is high?
I keep my tank at 2ppm

@Randy Holmes-Farley
I'm wanting to make this way more concentrated. I'm not using stump remover, but pure potassium nitrate, 99.8% which I'll guess is same solution.
Going with the above formula for my tanks that I need to dose total water for 140 and 50 I'd need 70ml and 25ml to raise .08
Let's say I mixed 50g instead of 10g with 1l of water, would I be correct in saying I'd need 28ml for the 140 and 10 for the 50?
Appreciate your help in making this stronger concentration.
