How to raise Nitrate/Phosphate

[SourAngelfish]

Sorry this is a weird question that no one ever asks. Just wondering if there is a way to raise these two chemicals without the means of a biological process (fish producing ammonia). It’s for an experiment.

Yes. Use nitrate and phosphate supplements.

Fish food, reduce skimmer time, remove socks, or just dose sodium nitrate.

Stumpremover is a potassium nitrate as well and works wonders besides readily available at every plant nursery.

This topic has been popping up quite a bit lately. Here's what I use;

Sodium nitrate

Trisodium phosphate

Seachem Flourish or Brightwell products seem to be available locally.

They have nitrate and phosphate products.
