Would it be okay to mix Aquaforest and ZEOvit carbon sources (i.e., ZEOstart and -NP Polymer)?

I was thinking if it's okay to mix vodka, vinegar, and sugar into VSV, then what about these products? The only thing is that I don't know what's in those products.


I'm currently dosing -NP Polymer (supposedly a liquid polymer) with Aquaforest zeolites. I know. You hate zeolites. But my engineering mind had to experiment!!

=D

Also I'm told ZEOvit smells like vinegar. Something that smells like vinegar that costs over $100/L can't possibly just be vinegar .. right?! RIGHT?!

You answered the question "can I". Only other question logically then is: should I?

I've never seen any evidence that using multiple different carbon sources at the same time was better than using a single one. I've not even heard a good theoretical reason. :)
