Things like Vodka, Vinegar and MB7?
Some people have nothing to do and feel anything they do is good. I feel it is a waste of time.
But saying its a waste of time is a bit rash imo.
I dont understand this. Why is it a waste of time? I dont spend a small fortune on water changes. This is not a waste of time, its proven to work, and work very well, even in sps systems. Ive been at dosing for years now, and cant say I have a complaint one about it. But saying its a waste of time is a bit rash imo.
You are correct. I should have said that "in my opinion" dosing vodka and vinegar is a waste of time.
I was wondering as I'm forever reading one thing or another about those dosing one or the other-lol. 5yrs reefing and I've never understood it.
Doesn't bacteria grow without all the dosing help? Doesn't changing your water remove excess nutrients?
I've always tried to keep things all tank related as simple as possible. But am I getting all that I can from my corals without the extra stuff?
but sometimes your responses like the one above come off condescending and arrogant - and I'm fairly sure you aren't intending that.

Some types of bacteria grow, but the types driven by vinegar and vodka additions do not.
Almost no one can maintain nutrients adequately low with water changes alone, and is not, in fact, why I recommend doing water changes.
Randy am I understanding you correctly, You DO NOT recommend water changes? Or water changes as a way to controlling nutrients by removal?
I do them (1% daily) and recommend them in most situations. I just think the reasons for doing them are not completely, or even primarily, to keep nitrate and phosphate low, since there are better ways to accomplish that.
What is less likely to have a huge overdose on... Dosing vodka or running bio pellets? Does bio pellets take out nitrates and phosphates?
