Over 10 weeks I have been dosing Vodka to get my nitrates under control, when I started dosing they were at 48, today they are at 21.6 with phosphates at .03. Currently dosing 5.8ml daily
My concern is that over the last two weeks the nitrates have only fallen by roughly 2 points where previous weeks the drop was averaging over 3.
My question is should I consider dosing phosphates in order to help drop the nitrates further or stay the course until no movement is recorded.

Testing with Hanna testers

These are my my last few weeks

IF you don't keep the P up you are looking for a new problem. I don't vodka dose, (I day at a time).
