So I've been experimenting with my fert's trying to to make something more specific to my tank.

My question to start out is if I leave out the kno3 do you think i will have problems with k.

My tank runs high on no3, 40ppm or maybe higher. (even with 30% PWC weekly) if I miss one and go 2 weeks i cant get it below 40 ppm at all. I want to see if by eliminating the kno3 I can burn the excess no3 to the point where I can figure out what I need to add specifically

I made up 250ml of this

k2so4 14.5g
kh2po4 3.9g
mgso4 10g

to dose 2ml per 10g

do you think I will have a k defiency? Do you think the no3 will be burned off?

I plan on doing this for a month to see what happens. I just wanted to get some input from others knowing that some of you might already do this.

any input is greatly appreciated
