but it will also increase pH, so you need to test/watch it
[...]the "stoichiometric" amount of Vinegar[...]that provides the exact equivalent of enough CO2 to react all the Kalk powder to Calcium and Bicarbonate, turns out to be about 25ml of 5% Acetic Acid per liter of saturated (0.02 moles/liter or 1.5 grams/liter) aqueous Calcium Hydroxide solution (Kalkwasser). I've used 30ml of Vinegar to a ½ teaspoon of Ca(OH)2 per liter of mix without any problem, but recommend about 15ml to those new to using Vinegar. This means that you still need to go easy on the stirring, because we are not providing quite enough equivalent CO2 to avoid SOME Carbonate ion formation if we get carried away with the mixing.
Don't bank on it taking down the phosphates much, it eats out Nitrates first and foremost, you will see a very minor move in the phosphate numbers only, its not to be used as a phosphate remover.Will vodka or vinegar help drop phosphates.
Hey Rev. 5ml per gallon is a bunch. I was dosing 8mls total for my 90 gallon and my sps were pale from lack of nutrients. Be careful with a bacteria bloom.
But if your trying to get nitrates down, its a start, not a daily routine low dose. ya gotta get the nitrates to fall first.Hey Rev. 5ml per gallon is a bunch. I was dosing 8mls total for my 90 gallon and my sps were pale from lack of nutrients. Be careful with a bacteria bloom.
HOLY COW, now that i've never encountered.
