Default Question about dosing Phosphate with Fleet Enema(!)

One thing to keep in mind,
Unless you are measuring uptake rate, near zero, research etc "close"
is more than good enough.

Traces, K+, PO4 are fairly robust and their precise control within a
narrow range is simply uncalled for to keep a nice planted tank.
Running out, extreme excess can/may cause issues.
But if you have a 2-3 days supply, in most cases you are fine.

You'll find little difference if you add 1ppm once a week or 0.5ppm 2x
a week.

Will one ppm NO3 make or break any tank set up? Only if it's 1ppm vs
0ppm or on the upper range of 20+ppm etc.
