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

I asked roughly the same question...regarding Nitrates (not Nitrites -
that's poisonous) Keep an eye on my thread as well - it may help your cause.....its called - "Dosing With Nitrates - how much" Martin "350X_Rider" wrote in message ... I'm listening...

Sources for all the components are listed in the PMDD FAQ: http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Fertilizer/pmdd-tim.html I bought KNO3, KH2PO4 and K2SO4 from Eco Enterprises 1240 NE 175th St. Suite B Shoreline, WA 98155 Toll Free: 1-800-426-6937 Fax: 1-206-363-9983 In Seattle: (206) 363-9981 After Hours: (206) 525-4784 Hours: Mon. - Sat. 9 AM - 6 PM Pacific Time They have a web site, but I couldn't find the dry bulk chemicals listed there. But they sell everything by the pound, with price breaks at 5 and 50 lbs. I ordered by phone, my order arrived promptly, with a full-color catalog listing the bulk ingredients. They even claim to have a trace mix that works in PMDD, but the guy who could talk intelligently about it wasn't in the day I called, and I had some Plantex already, so it didn't matter. http://www.ecogrow.com |

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). |
