After cycling and a 50% water change, my NO3 is around 20 (Nyos) and .04 (Hanna).
My plan has been to use Elimi-NP to bring mown nutrients but I didn’t expect phosphates to be so low. I still want to get nitrates down under 10 but obviously don’t want to zero out phosphates. I understand that Elimi-NP will bring down nitrates at a greater ratio than phosphates, so am I ok to proceed here or are phosphates too low to bring down any further? I planned on starting with 1/2 the dose of Elimi-NP, but should I start at 1/4 dose?
