Taper Carbon Dosing

[KnH]

Testing with Salifert 90g and started with No3 >100.
This morning I tested out between 10-25.
I have been dosing 24 ML per-day of 690% Vinegar + 310% Vodka for the last 10-12 months.
Any thoughts on how much to cut back so I don't bottom out my Nitrates?
50-60%?

Yes, that drop sounds reasonable.
What does 690% vinegar mean?

How long did it take to go from 100 to 20?

Had to look back at my cheap dosing pump post and it’s only been 5 months . 1.0 ml per hour x 24 hours to drop the nitrates

If it were my tank, I would cut the dose by at least half. Keep monitoring and tweak up or down as needed
