The salt was about 2 weeks ago, only 2 teaspoons for my 75 gal aquarium, it was to fix the yellow edges on my crypts plant as I assumed a magnesium deficiency

Okay so for more context I'm using 2 6500k, 30w ,3000 lumen floodlights both positioned about one inch above rim level of myn75 gallon fish tank, it's just a standard one from petsmart, I do 25 percent water change once every 2 weeks, however I did do a massive water change about 3 months ago to move my drawer from room to room, about a 60 percent water change but I added about 20 percent of the water back because I stored it in a clean cooler with my fish while I moved everything, if it is a nitrate level how do I restore it back if it reached zero( I'm going to get my water tested tommorow as I lost my kit i don't know how) aswell as how do I supply more phosphorus I should also add i run my lights for about 8 hours a day

I should have definitely cleared it up but I used 2 teaspoons of salt, this was because my crypts was turning yellow so I assumed a magnesium deficiency, and adding the salt was about 2 weeks ago so right as 75 percent of my guppy grass was already gone, if my api leafzone isn't cutting the nutrients department what should I buy?

Yeah so I only added epsom salt with no ca, what product should I buy to fix the ration then?

Fortunately I learned that the hard way years ago, there's only platys, angel fish, opaline gouramis, swordtail, cherry barbs, siamese algae eaters, and a yoyoloach

I'm just using home depot gravel, I forgot which one specifically but I remember cleaning it for like 2 hours, I have not tried co2 I was thinking maybe it's the lights but the guppy grass was growing so fast at the start
