Will adding raw shrimp raise organic NO3 as it breaks down? Thinking outside the box rather than dosing KNO3 which as I understand will raise the dissolved inorganic NO3

Astablished or not, a huge rotting piece of shrimp will overwelm your bacterial population, raise ammonia levels, raise nitrite levels and then and only then raise Nitrate levels.With an established tank the ammonia and nitrites should convert to nitrates without causing any issues though. I’m just wondering if 1 large piece of shrimp would raise the NO3 enough to matter.
