What one dose does
PARAMETER
1 ml / 100 L
Nitrate
+0.7571 ppm NO₃
To raise nitrate by 2 ppm NO₃ in 100 L: 2.6 ml.
Maker’s daily maximum: 1.3 ml per 100 L (1.3 ml for 100 L).
How it’s used
Start 1 ml per 20 US gal (about 1 drop per gal); test nitrate every 5 days and adjust toward 5-10 ppm. Don't raise the daily dose by more than 1 ml per 20 gal within a 5-day period.
Cautions
• Nitrate-limited tanks only; test before dosing
Sources
Appears to be a calcium nitrate formulation (no Na/K by-products; residue becomes CaCO3 via bacterial uptake), so it adds a small amount of Ca/alk, not quantified by ESV. maxDose here is the max *increase step*, not an absolute ceiling.
