Hello,
I am dosing two tanks a 70 gallon & a 55gallon. Dosing three months. I started dosing 20 ml of a 0.7 ppm solution. now three months later I am dosing 14 ml in the 70 gal & 12 ml in the 55 gal. I re mixed the solutions so 1 PPM = .5 nitrate. I test on a regular basis. My teting shows that I will need to up the KN03.I can barely keep nitrites at 10 PPM. At at one time the reading would have been much higher due to less comsumption and fewer plants.
This means it is time for me to bump it up!
I'll probably add an additional 3 ml, then test and see where I go from there.

Still learning myself but thought this was worthwhile info.
