I am currently dosing 12ml of VSV per day at the rate of 1ml for every two hours. My nitrate is standing still at 2.5ppm (Salifert) with heavy feeding of 4 times a day (artemia, black worms, TDO pellets & DIY shrimp meat). I have tried reducing my dosage to 8ml per day and my nitrate went till 5ppm. I am having less rocks than you may be around 15kgs and sand bed of 2.5". Below are the things I like to change and plan to do by this week,It depends on the tank and setup, for me my reactor works just fine with no vodka, less than 1ppm when i last tested after stopping vodka
- To get bacterial bio diversity, I am planning to start with the dosage of Prodibio biodigest and Bioptim
- Want to reduce the carbon dosing as my pH is swinging from 7.99 to 8.18 for 24hrs with alk of 8.4dkh.
