Vinegar dosing. One dose or several small?

[Enigma84]

I have homed in my vinegar dosing to 60ml a day. This deals with 6 cubes a day plus some mysis rs flake and spectrum pellets. I tend to feed in the evening and wondering whether this is causing very high nutrients and low the rest of the time. I was spreading it out to 24 times a day through a doser. I have been wondering such fluctuation is causing less than expected acropora growth.

1. Am I better off dosing all towards the feeding time, or just before or after than spread out for 24 hours?

2. Does anybody have any experience with feeding like this with test results to show swings? And has this had a knock on effe t with slightly repressed growth?

thanks in advance.

IMO, it is best to spread the dosing out over the day (not night) since it lowers pH and consumes O2.

I do not think reproducible daily movement of nutrient parameters is a concern.
