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%?

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
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
