Tre Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 So I’ve got my Easy Green, Easy Iron, and East Carbon. I’ve used others....still have some. I’m curious if anyone has tested the number. So I test my Nitrates especially as my plants are growing....and my algae currently. I have not started before and after tests because I feel there are too many variables in a tank but.... A dose/squirt of easy green would be how much nitrate in ppm in the suggested 10 gallons of water? I may test before and after. I’m one of those folks that fiddles too much. Thank heaven I have my kid’s tank to keep me from inadvertently killing mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Ppm in a 10 gallon? Ummmm that doesn’t sound kosher. I get ppm of the bottle but I was saying after dosing a tank, what is the resulting change in Nitrates? In the tank. Not the dosing bottle. I find this answer....awesome either way. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my API liquid test kit, one squirt in a 10 gallon tank would raise my measured nitrate reading approx 2.5 ppm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I think there is a thread on this here: It has lots of calculations, and some numbers direct from the manufacturer that might help. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
