I have 2 questions:

1. What is the safest source to purchase sodium nitrate and phosphate? Something without any harmful additives. I don’t want brightwell nor seachem. Also no stump remover as it’s not regulated.

2. Where can I find a chart for calculating the dosage/mixing?

I’m expecting a powdered NaNO3 and NAPO4 with a chart that tells me how to make my stock solution.
 
And I found this!


When using a recipe designed for potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate is not much different. If you want to be "perfect", us 84% as much sodium nitrate. So if it called for 1 gram of potassium nitrate, use 0.84 g of sodium nitrate. :)
 
Seems like my questions were answered. Thanks!
