Don't want to sound dumb but I want to make sure I am reading the calculations correct.

Sodium nitrate is potassium nitrate grams x .84

36 grams can dissolve in 100ml

280gal volume

360 grams in 1000ml at 20ml would net me just under 5ppm

My tank currently sits at the following
Nitrate 0
Phosphate .11
Calcium 468
Alk 4.5 (about to start dosing lime)
Magnesium have not checked
 
This one is out of my league :face-with-tears-of-joy: Maybe someone else will have a answer for you.
 
That matches what my spreadsheet shows
