I should really have started doing this a couple years back. NO3PO4-X usually sells for $45 give or take, and I could make so much more by just buying the Vodka, Vinegar and mixing in with RODI so what follows is a Quoted recipe from a 5yr old Nopox Recipe thread that I found on R2R. Credit goes to redfishbluefish and thread reference here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/nopox-recipe.322503/
"Quote: redfishbluefish:
Based on an NMR of NOPOX, a diy mix of 500 mls vinegar (5%), 375 mls vodka (80 proof), and 125 mls RO/DI matches the ratios."
I also took my old NOPOX bottle and remade the Table in word. Reffence: RedSea Bottle
Vodka Dosing Only, Ref https://www.saltwateraquariumblog.com/vodka-dosing-reef-tank/ :
The recommended starting dose is 0.1mL per 25 gallons of net water volume per day for days 1-3, followed by 0.2mL per 25 gallons days 4-7, and then the addition of 0.5mL per week (regardless of aquarium volume), until nitrates become undetectable. Please keep in mind that these guidelines were provided based on an assumed alcohol concentration of 40% (80 proof).
