No. Those are inorganic molecules in reef tanks.When you does nitrate and phosphate is that considered carbon dosing?
So this is what i dont understand, probably because my understanding is wrong. So when you carbon dose the bacteria multiply and consume N and P? So what is the food for the bacteria, is it the vodka or the N and P?
Sorry if i got this all wrong.
So wouldnt dosing nitrate and phophate do the same thing? Or is that like adding a dessert and not the full dinner lol
Oh nvm. I got it youre trying to lower the n and p and if you add it theres no reduction
Im so stupid
Yeah, i just totally forgot. I was dosing nitrate and phosphate just to keep levels high enough so dinos dont take a hold. Then i started thinking what the heck im feeding bacteria am i carbon dosing again? Lol totally skipped my mind the reason why people carbon dose.No problem. It's good to understand why folks do what they do, and not just follow a recipe.

Thanks again Randy!
While we’re on the subject, does carbon dosing reduce ph (since co2 is a byproduct) and if so by any detrimental amount?
