Is there a specific ml/gallon to hit a specific ppm?
I really don’t wanna overdose, I started with 1ml/30 gallons but I’m not sure that’s a significant dose.
I found the calculator and figured out a dose for sodium nitrate though so when it comes I will have a better picture on how much nitrate is actually going in the water.
You really should use Seachem Flourish Phosphate. They have a calculator on the web site that's highly accurate. When dosing nitrate and phosphate I shoot for the Redfield Ration. 16 to 1. Nitrate over phosphate.
