Elevate/Dosing PO4 and NO3

[chipchipbro]

Hey guys and @Randy Holmes-Farley

I am having problems with very low nutrients. I do have 0.00 po4 and 2.5 no3

What should I buy to raise both?
I mean theres expensive solutions like Plus-NP and stuff..

But it is possible with natriumnitrate and stuff.

so, what exactly do I need and how much do I dose?
I am in Switzerland so I need the Elements in order to find the correct product in german

thanks

I used brightwell neonitro and neophos. I had to double dose for several weeks before my numbers came up. You can also feed more. Shut skimmer off for awhile, less water change, coral food like reef roids, etc...

Food grade sodium nitrate and sodium phosphate are great choices. See what you have locally on amazon.

Thanks, Randy!

I cant seem to find these products available to buy in my country, thats weird.
I might need to stick to the more expensive products as it seems...

WHat product would you recommend there? Plus-NP as already said?

Your choices on amazon do look very limited in Germany.

You might have to go a hobby product route. The Plus NP sounds like a fine product if you need both N and P.

Hey Randy which type is best for dosing po4?

A, B, C, D or E? Thanks!

I’d pick D. Will dissolve easily and looks purest. The calcium one may not be stable in solution.
