The nitrate level on my tank is below .1ppm. I have been dosing the equivalent of 1 ppm sodium nitrate for a few days and every morning I test its back around 0. I tested minutes after dosing and read around 1ppm and I even dosed to my water change bucket and got 1ppm. So I am pretty certain my dosing and test kit is working but it is always scary dosing something and not seeing a change. So my question is whether this seems normal for a 120 gal system and whether I should consider dosing more than 1ppm.
