Need to raise nitrates

[fishnugget1]

I have o nitrates & .03 phosphates. I am building my fish base. Corals need to color up. BRS recommended Brightwell's Neo Nitrate. I purchased this and don't understand the directions.

Anyone using this? Any advise will help.

If you need nitrates, just take some of my water and you will have plenty

"1 ml NEONITRO will increase the nitrate concentration in 1 US-gallon (~3.8 L) by ~5 ppm; 1 drop from plastic bulb pipette (enclosed within bottle) will increase the concentration in the same volume of water by ~0.25 ppm."

If you want to use this product (I prefer a DIY of sodium nitrate so I know the quality and purity of what I'm using), I'd add 4 drops per gallon of aquarium water (1 ppm nitrate) each day and see what that does for nitrate after a week.
