Alright, so I am very new to understanding all of this "geek" talk that have to do in relation to planted aquariums....
I'm sure I will have many many questions, but for how, this is one...
Ok, so... NO3 is Nitrates.... what is KNO3??
What exactly dose the K stand for??
I was trying to look it up, this is what I believe I found...
KNO3 is ammonium and Nitrates. Correct??
If so.. what do I want to be dosing just NO3? or KNO3?? I hear that a bit of ammonium is good, but dosing it will cause an algae outbreak..
Here is a quote from some website, (WWW.BARRREPORT.COM....)
"If you add NO3 from KNO3, you will not get any algae bloom, if you add even 1/20th of the ammonium you will get a very intense algae bloom."
So, after reading that, I'm confuesed... do I want to only does NO3? OR do I want to does KNO3???
Thanks in advance...
