Water chemistry

My alk is 7.0
Magnesium: 1250
Nitrate: 0
Phosphate: .14
How can I increase my nitrate without skyrocketing phosphate?
I’m currently dosing 3 ml of all for reef every 6 days in my 15gal AIO system

You have 2 options. Both will contribute and increase the overall nitrogen. I recommend ammonia because corals prefer it more. If you choose ammonia, there’s a chart on the bottom of the ammonia thread.

Feeding more will increase both nutrients, that is correct.
