Fertiliser quantity calculation / Nitrates function?

[stressed]

Hi,

If we were to visit Chuck's website, he has done in up nicely where we were to enter our Tank Size in Gallons, Quantity of "Fertiliser crystals" to be mixed with X quantity of water, and he will determine the each ml of the solution will contain what ppm or mg/l.

The question is, if I would like to perform my own calculation to understand the process in greater details, how do I calculate? I would like to know how to calculate to determine each ml of solution I dose will be increasing by what quantity in terms of ppm or mg/l.

I hope this is not too much a trouble to ask. [] []

May I also ask, what is the function of Nitrates? Seems to be closely linked to Phosphate in terms of functions....

Please read the site again. It says:

"Each ML of this solution that you add to your tank will add: "

Nitrates is one of the nitrogen source for plants. Other source of nitrogen include ammonia & urea.

The role of nitrogen in plants are mainly for proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, phycobilins.

P from phosphates (PO4) are for nucleic acids, ATP, phospholipids, ion transport regulation, bioenergetics.
