    NOPOX Recipe

    I should really have started doing this a couple years back. NO3PO4-X usually sells for $45 give or take, and I could make so much more by just buying the Vodka, Vinegar and mixing in with RODI so what follows is a Quoted recipe from a 5yr old Nopox Recipe thread that I found on R2R. Credit goes...

    What bacteria in a bottle to kickstart NoPoX?

    What are some good bacteria in a bottle products to get NoPoX going and doing its thing? I've had mixed results with other commercial carbon sources so far, so I'd like to start using NOPOX since its known to just work in the vast majority of cases. My tank uses dry rock and only has fish at...

    NoPox without skimmer? HELP

    I've been fighting algae in my 55 gallon tank for a year, first with hair algae, and now Cyanobacteria "I know it's not an algae". Water changes haven't helped, GFO isn't helping. I've heard great things about Red Sea Nopox and want to give it a shot. Is it safe to use on a tank without a skimmer?

    Nitrates making alk rise

    So I was speaking to my LFS earlier and they said that my alk could be rising because I have started using nopox to lower nitrates. This sounded odd but what they said kind of made sense and the time frames coinside. So my nitrates where really high at 40ppm before and my alk was at 9.1. I...

    Vodka vs Vinegar vs DIY NOPOX

    I'm currently on my 3rd week of dosing vodka to reduce nitrates in my tank, when I remember that I stumbled upon a couple of DIY NOPOX recipes that mix vodka, vinegar, and rodi water (sometimes). What are the benefits, if any, to dosing the DIY NOPOX vs the vodka I'm currently using?
