Lf sodium nitrate

[xlzerolx]

Hello,
Is this for reefing? If you are looking for a nitrate source three is theplantguy.org that has calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate and potassium nitrate. He used to sell sodium nitrate but it's not listed on his site anymore. Look under the fertilizer section

It sure is, I am struggling to get nitrates for some reason and belive this to be the reason my sps are now lacking their vibrant color. Thanks for the info I will check it out.

No problem. Let me know how it goes. Curious to see the results
Also, are you sure it's not because of too much light?

A possibility for raising nitrate.

I don't think it is a lighting issue, I did a tank swap a few months back and have used all the same equipment. The only real changes I have made aside the increased water volume was a new sand bed, since moving over the livestock the nitrate has become undetectable. Not sure if the sand bed is playing a role in this.

I've been using flourish nitrogen to bring my nitrate up a bit I'm using 2ml a day it keeps the nitrates at about .2 in 90-100 gallons. i did a lot of reading first as its made for freshwater but I found info on a flourish forum from a scientist at seaChem saying it's reef safe.

Thanks Ryan, how long have you been dosing for and have you noticed any improvement in color?
