Dosing NO3 and PO4

[Dhoggs]

I am currently dosing NO3 (using KNO3 solution) and PO4 (seachem phosphorus) to keep my nutrients to a detectable level. I use a brs 1ml/min doser to dose KNO3 while I dose PO4 manually. My question is, can I combine the KNO3 solution and the PO4 solution (given that I figure out the proper ratio) and then use the 1 doser that I have to dose the combined solution?

Thanks in advance!

I don’t see why not.

Just kidding you.... this might happen:

If you are in need of both No3 and PO4 then you should consider yourself lucky, you don’t need to specifically dose any of the chemicals. Just go buy PE mysis shrimp and feed your tank more( don’t wash the food) . Corals don’t actually require detectable levels of nutrients they require food. You might have enough PO4 and NO3, that get consumed throughout the day. If you need one or the other then dosing might be a solution for you. Otherwise, you will just be adding unnecessary complexity to your setup.
