Calcium Nitrate

[amf17]

I'm looking for a source of nitrates for my planted aquarium.

I can't find potassium nitrate anywhere. I've looked for stump remover and everything but i think it's been banned where i live because of the potential to make bombs with it.

Does anyone know where i can find calcium nitrate or a product containing calcium nitrate???

Thanks

also, is there another possible way to boost the nitrates in my tank???

Nitrates will go up if you feed the fish heavily. It is the end result of the filtration cycle. The more food going into the tank the higher the ammonia levels. The higher they go the higher the nitrites and subsequently the nitrates will go up.
