Potassium Nitrate - 500g

Price:  £10.99
Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) is a macro element for all aquatic plants which means that it is absolutely essential. A lack of KNO3 will result in poor plant health and algae. In non CO2 aquariums the addition of KNO3 is unnecessary - sufficient levels will be found in your tap water.

Contrary to belief nitrates do not cause algae in a planted aquarium. In high growth tanks such as those with CO2, KNO3 has to be added as it is absorbed and used up more quickly than a tank can produce it (from fish waste and plant breakdown).

If you wish to make a stock solution then add 40g to 500ml of water (preferably RO) and add 10ml per 100L of water - this would give you a value of 5ppm and you would dose 3 times a week when using the EI method.
