Judging by seachems analysis the available nitrogen is at 0.007 and phosphate is 0.01 does this not mean that flourish would add more phosphate than nitrate?

Did some online reading and decided to order some calcium nitrate, should be here in a few days. From what I have read the ammonia in it should not ammount to detectable levels

That is SeaChem Flourish which is a trace/micro element supplement. There are a bunch of "Flourish" additives. Anyone who is using the Flourish products for nitrate addition is using Flourish Nitrogen, and those using it for phosphate addition are using Flourish Phosphorus. There are lots of people using these two products, they seem to be safe for reef use.

Never realized this, but seachem has a handy dandy calculator on their site to know how much to dose.

Neat!
