I am currently dosing both Vodka (Nitrates) and Phosphate E (Phosphates) I am doing this manually daily and it is difficult to impossible to be consistent. I have a DOS and DDR so the question is would the Vodka or Phosphate E have any negative effect on the acrylic of the DDR?

I’m not so sure of that. The DDR specifically says not to use alcohol in it.

I run Homemade NOPOX 500 ml vinegar, 375 ml vodka, 125 ml RODI, but I dose out of glass jars or reuse the vodka bottle.
