Guys and Gals
I am stupid... been dosing 40ml of neo phos and neo nitrate daily....

Multiply tank capacity in gallons x ppm increase desired x 18.9 - ml of product to add. Example to raise the concentration of phosphate in a 25 gallon aquarium by .01 ppm, the calculation is: 25 x .01 x 18.9 = 4.7 ml or about a capful. (a capful is 5 ml)

Phos
250g x .1ppm x 18.9 = 472 ML...... not 40ml


"1 ml NEONITRO will increase the nitrate concentration in 1 US-gallon (~3.8 L) by ~5 ppm; "

Nitrate
1 mL/gallon x 250 gallons x 5 ppm =1250 ML...... not 40ml

Sounds to me like you need to start using trisodium phosphate and sodium nitrate.

You can make a solution a lot stronger than that per ML.
