This is the first of hopefully many Reef Chemistry Questions of the Day.
Some will be easy, and some will be harder.
We'll start very hard, just for fun,
First question:
Some reefers dose vinegar, and some dose vodka to drive bacterial growth and reduce nutrients.
Considering just the primary organic molecule present in each, and ignoring the concentration/amount of water in each, which of these two organic molecules packs more energy per unit of weight when fully metabolized with oxygen to CO2 and water?
Good luck!
