Asking generally, but is there anything to lose by feeding reef roids or AB+ for a triple hit of nitrate, phosphate and coral growth?

Imho you can only increase N + P with feeding if the food gets sucked into the sump and starts rotting there.Asking generally, but is there anything to lose by feeding reef roids or AB+ for a triple hit of nitrate, phosphate and coral growth?
So I've looked everywhere and not finding any information confirming neonitro contains any potassium, the bottle suggests potassium salts, like maybe it's sodium nitrate, It's strange also because I monitor and dose potassium and i use neonitro and Ive never noticed an issue with elevated potassium, do you have information backing this up so I could look into....... it............still adds potassium to your tank.. potassium….nitrate….
If you have a potassium test you can test your pure neonitro. Potassium nitrate is the cheapest form of nitrate but it would be irresponsible to sell it to reefers. Well after vibrant im not surprised about anything anymore.So I've looked everywhere and not finding any information confirming neonitro contains any potassium, the bottle suggests potassium salts, like maybe it's sodium nitrate, It's strange also because I monitor and dose potassium and i use neonitro and Ive never noticed an issue with elevated potassium, do you have information backing this up so I could look into....... it............
And of course the bottle doesn't tell you it just list's 2 ingredients purified water , proprietary nitrogen salts.
This and reducing cheato photo period. Seems easier to try first than dosing..Turn off skimmer for few days
Roller mat is making the job from the skimmer
Lol brightwell is know for not disclosing any of their ingredients accept purified water, I just don't think it's pure potassium nitrate because it's sold to the masses, and leaves to much chance for issues. I'd like to see if there is any information on the contrary though because im not sure.ESV's Nitrate is Calcium Nitrate and they tell you that on the bottle.
I do but it's not really worth the time of the test for me, because I don't believe it does contain potassium.If you have a potassium test you can test your pure neonitro.

You should leave your belief inside your church instead of your tank.I do but it's not really worth the time of the test for me, because I don't believe it does contain potassium.
Why God created everything in my tankYou should leave your belief inside your church instead of your tank.
Well then, I hope you include the absence of potassium inside of neonitro in your next prayer.Why God created everything in my tank
So you've tested it already and are sure it has potassium in it? Or is that your beliefs vs mine? LolWell then, I hope you include the absence of potassium inside of neonitro in your next prayer.
My Nitrate has been pinned at 0.0 (per my Hanna HR checker) so far ive switched the reds and blues off in my grow light so just the whites are on, I’ve added some mollies and a tang and have stepped up feeding quite a bit
But it seems like it isn’t doing anything to raise my nitrate I have various soft corals and I’m hoping for better growth
here’s my sump set upView attachment 2854723
not sure what’s the best way to go to raise them slightly and hold them there for stability, maybe black out the cheato or throw a lot of it out? Stop using the protein skimmer? Just keep the sump working as is and dose nitrate?
what have you guys done? Any tips are greatly appreciated

Okay so I’m pretty inexperienced at reefing (that was probably obvious enough already lol) I never even new potassium was a thing in fish tanks
so I take it there is an ideal level I should aim for and the Neonitro contains potassium? And I need to buy a test kit for potassium before I consider that product?
I already posted a picture of a bottle, and listed the ingredients they list not much information other than that.I'm pretty sure at one point it listed potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate as ingredients. I might be able to check a bottle I have around if I dont forget lol
Do you think potassium is in neonitro? I agree with you but, I do use this product currently.There’s no reason (IMO) to use a costly Brightwell product of unknown purity just to raise nitrate.
Food grade sodium nitrate is cheap and easy to use. Calcium nitrate is even better, but harder to find. Avoid potassium nitrate unless you are monitoring potassium and know you need it.
Actually i didn't think it was potassium nitrate
I don't use products with unknown content, therefore i don't have to believe.So you've tested it already and are sure it has potassium in it? Or is that your beliefs vs mine? Lol
