Does anyone else dose vinegar in there ATO? If so do you see good growth in your sps? Can you post growth shots also?

I do not currently, But i have heard good things about it, As long as its dosed in hand with Kalk. Because it will lower PH but the Kalk has high ph anyways so when does together it does fine as it will still have a high PH. And it does cause more energy for the corals, However again i can not testify this is just what i have read.

I don't dose it in my ato but I do add about 30 ml of vinegar to every one gallon of kalk solution and it goes in via a dripper.

as long as its not all at one time, Then all should be good. as i said too much vinegar at one time will lower PH but if its hand in Hand should be fine, Just keep a watch on the PH make sure youre not overdosing

Carbon dosing is more affective with bacteria source like microbacter7 or prodibio or zeobac. Vinegar in kalk will make the kalk more potent. There should be a chart on the kalk/vinegar ratio floating somewhere on the web

Side note. Dose your carbon slowly or you will cause bacteria bloom and crash your tank
