Nitrates 100+ppm, Need help with Dosing Vodka

[Ashish Patel]

Ok, let us know. Algae and the ats are good ways to reduce phosphate, organic carbon dosing, not so much. :)

I dont know Randy! I have had to dose Phosphates for 6 months now and when I stopped for few days it went from 70PPB to 5PPB. I am pretty convinced in my tank Vodka is doing a number on my Phosphates... which is why I am dosing Phosphates continuously still!

Well, that happens in some tanks not dosing organics, but regardless of the reason, keeping phosphate up is desirable.

I had the same problem, nitrates over 200 ppm, I did "Donovan's Nitrate Destroyer". Nitrates dropped to 10 ppm with carbon regulation in the Nitrate Destroyer itself / 25-10 ml/day/. It took me exactly 1 month, my phosphates also dropped to 0. I dosed phosphates several times and now everything is stabilized at nitrates 10 ppm and phosphates 0.012 ppm.
