A Water Change A Day...

How well can vinegar dosing work if you can only add it once a week?

How well can vinegar dosing work if you can only add it once a week?

Depends on the goal of adding it. It will help reduce nutrients and add some bacteria as a food source for filter feeders, but not nearly as effectively as more frequent dosing.

Why can you only add it once a week?

Just life. ;)

I was getting a steady slot of time in the mornings for a good while and that's just not happening now. (Doin' everything I can to make this tank sustain itself.) I do hope to get back to daily changes...just dunno when. For now, it's "when I can". ;)

That's why I use a dual head pump on a timer for automatic daily water changes. I'd rarely bother if I had to lug buckets around. :D

Water change #114!
...I wish I still had time to do the daily water changes...or spare budget to equip an auto-change system of some kind....

For those who may be interested, I updated my tank thread: 100 gallon system - 50 breeder + 39 gallon + sump.

(Unless someone has questions at some point, this will probably be the last update to this thread....at least for the foreseeable future.)
