  • Want the world's best KNO3? Our 1lb jar of Potassium Nitrate, is the finest quality and purity aquarium plant food to make your aquascape a success.
  • Nitrogen (N) is essential for chlorophyll production. Potassium (K) aids protein synthesis and for plants to metabolize Iron (Fe). Nitrogen is an essential component of chlorophyll, the green plant pigment responsible for photosynthesis. Nitrogen is vital to all living cells and is a necessary part of all proteins, enzymes and metabolic processes of energy synthesis and transfer. Nitrogen helps plants with rapid plant growth and healthy leaf quality. Nitrogen deficiency creates an imbalance in plants, resulting in stunted and slow growth rate, chlorosis (yellowing of older leaves), die off of older leaves, and new leaves are small and crippled. Potassium deficiency causes holes on older leaves. To remedy Nitrogen deficiency, increase the levels of available Potassium Nitrate (KNO3). Aquatic plants absorb nitrogen from nitrates (NO3). Ideal source of nitrates (NO3) is Potassium Nitrate (KNO3).
  • aids in chlorophyll, photosynthesis, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, amino acids, potassium absorption, metabolism, rapid growth and leaf quality

Deficiency Symptoms: interveinal chlorosis of older leaves, crippled new leaves, slow/stopped plant growth

    Did a good job of bring up Nitrates

    Due to excessive plant mass relative to bioload, I was getting algae in the presence of low nitrates. I needed some fertilizer salts to raise my nitrates. This worked great to hit the target range on my aquarium.

    Working wonders for my Reef!

    I dont have a planted tank but I do keep reef tanks and word is out that GLA carries the best pure Nitrate for reef tanks around. I gave this stuff a try and the results have been amazing. I mix 1 teaspoon to 100ml RO/DI. I dose 5ml in my tank raising my nitrates to about 3.5ppm. If your looking to raise Nitrates in your reef tank this is absolutely the stuff to use. Thanks GLA for providing excellent salts for my reef. I also use Kh2po4 in my reef and the results are equally as rewarding.

    Great for establishing no3 in ULN reef systems

    This product worked great... mixed 45 grams of powder with 500ml of ro/di water. I had zero no3 in water and po4 was around .06 I was dosing 15ml. In my 300 gallon frag sustem morning and night until I got around 2-3 no3. It also lowered my po4 to about .04 for a few days, if the kno3 had anything to do with that, Maybe... Product worked great and corals look nice... Plus, I have enough to last 5 years... lol... don’t hesitate buying if you have a ULN system... It will get you where you need to be

    Reliable Macro Fertilizer

    I have been using this product for years now. It used to come in a zip-loc bag but now with it's own container it looks really nice. Not only is it affordable, but it makes a great improvement to any planted tank. Highly recommend it.
