Default can some one please help me with this

OK I have a 125 gallon tank heavily planted
Following this sticky I would dose:
kno3 1.5 tsp 3x wk
kh2po4 .5tsp 3x wk
k2so4 .25tsp 3x wk
trace 30mil 3x wk

OK here is where I am confused and need help
according to chuck's calculator this would give me
Nitrate 32.66 ppm I know I am shooting for 20-30 ppm so will back this down to 1.25 tsp which will give me 27.22ppm
Phosphate 10.62 it shows my target should be 1 ppm
Potassium 9.97 it shows target should be 20ppm

Am I missing something ?
From my reading I feel I have the KNO3 down but I am really confused on the Kh2po4 and k2so4


any help would be appreciated
