I've been dosing vodka for a few years now in my 150 sps reef. I recently decided to use MB7 due to some periodic spurts of Cyano bacteria that I fight. I only dose the low nutrient amount....5 ml per 50 gallons volume = 15 ml. once per week 2 days before a water change. My corals were slightly more pale so I upped the feeding.
My question is why am I producing much less skimmate than I use to? I use to skim 3 times more with vodka alone, and now have seen a serious drop in skimmate production. I run a very large ETSS skimmer with a heavy bioload of fish. Is this normal?
Perplexed. Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
