is this product safe to add into my reef? should I go for this over NeoNitro?

[leonardomanzano]

This is what I plan on using over NeoNitro.
would this work for reefs? I see someone else on the reviews had the same idea, unfortunately the reviewer never left an update so im not sure about how safe it is.
if you happen to use it, is it safe? if so how many grams do you use per gallon?

I used that same item. It raised my nitrates and I haven’t had issues from it.

I've found a few threads about it now, when I initially search I was mainly using the keyword "sodium nitrate".

I'm having a hard time finding how much to dose, would you mind helping me find a thread that goes over that?

Nice! how do you make your solution? do you make a liter at a time or a gallon?
if so how do you make your solution?

Dosing Nitrate (Sodium Nitrate)

I failed to find the link with the instructions for the Nitrate solution based on Sodium Nitrate (how much Sodium Nitrate, how much RO water, how much NO4 will raise for every ml dosed). Could you please assist? TIA

Use this calculator: http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/calculator.htm

Select nitrate from potassium nitrate.

I weigh the granule and add them directly to the tank as needed. My nitrate demand is low.

Actually, I was not joking, Randy prefers food grade vs industrial grade chemicals and I would second it as food grade stuff is FDA approved for Human consumption, hence by proxy approved for coral consumption. (Corals are human too )
