I've wondered that too...I think you would still support a higher bacterioplankton population dosing a few times a week than if you didn't dose at all. I'm not sure how quickly those bacteria die but I've read they multiply really rapidly.Thanks, all. I had experimented recently with dosing vinegar, 3 ml for total water volume of ~31 gal, which I think is like the very initial day 1 dosage from the charts I've seen. I was doing that once per week. Definitely no bacteria blooms at that rate, and I was clearly going super slow. Would it still benefit my acros even if I were only dosing once or twice per week? In other words, is some extra bacterial food better than none, even if only intermittently?
Thanks again!
