Rate of Phos/Nitrate decrease per dose of opposite?

[GobyGuy]

hey r2r

I’m trying to get out of almost bottoming out my nutrients and I’m over feeding tk the point of extreme detritus & algae growth but no nitrates or phosphates….

I have the doses to achieve the levels I’d like but I’m not sure how to balance out the decrease I’ve heard of happening to either N or P as you dose the other one
29g Aqueon ~24g water volume; will dose with Seachem Nitrogen & Phosphorus

There’s no good way to ensure both are being dosed as needed except by trial and error since there are several processes that use one and not the other.
