Default source of nitrites.... where can I get some?

"350X_Rider" wrote in message ...
I'm listening... I'm hearing everyone say add nitrites to heavily planted
tanks.... especially when algae breaks start to occur, because they've been
depleted from the water column and algae will win if the plants don't get
enough nitrite..

Where can I get some???

I swear I'm gonna get some PMDD from Dominic... I swear I am.....


Did you mean nitrite or nitrate. I wouldn't add nitrite. In the short
term it is harmful to your plants and by the time they adapt to
assimilate it, it will probably have been converted to nitrate by your
filter (and in the meantime, killed your fish).
