Did the 500/375/125 recipe. I have found the vinegar, and the vodka dosing tables...for some reason I'm not finding anything similar for the mixture..
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction??
Thanks for your time

(Tank is like 15 years old, have all test kits and everything. )

Dosing this DIY NOPOX is the same for regular NOPOX.....start slow, to reduce the chances of cyano. I'd do 1ml per 25g for the first week. If it looks good, up to 2mls per 25g for the second week. And finally, go to 3mls per 25g....until nitrates/phosphates drop.

Now, following NOPOX instructions, dose this 3mls / 25g every day until numbers start to drop.

Eventually, "maintenance dosing" is 1 ml per 25 gallons.
