sources of KNO3?
hi all,
ok. I finally got my nitrate test kit, and checked my water... and it reads ZERO. so.. it's ammonia zero, nitrite zero, nitrate zero (kh/gh=3, pH~7.5). hmm... no wonder my plants aren't growing that much. I don't have enough fish to maintain a good level of nitrogen compounds to sustain them (may be I should dump in some gold fish in there...) anyway, jokes aside... earlier, someone also recommended that I add potassium. since I also need nitrates, I guess the best thing to put in would be KNO3 so I can get both K and NO3 in the tank in one shot. I keep seeing it mentioned but I haven't quite made the correlation between the chemical and brand/product name.. now.. where do I get this? linda |

A good source for KNO3, K2SO4, and other chems is www.litemanu.com

The best part about www.litemanu.com is they only want $2.35 a pound

Maybe I got into this discussion on the end but all the plant food in the
world isn't going to help unless you have decent levels of light and CO2. I find that extra light and CO2 injection are the best ways to increase plant growth. Are you doing these things?
