    Vinegar Dosing

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Hi guys, I'd just like to share with everyone an experience.
     
    I started vinegar dosing just last week, and I am so impressed by the results. The algae in my tank has been disappearing, my protein skimmer has started pulling out much more gunk, and my nitrates have dropped from 50ppm to less than 5.
     
    In my previous setups I've tried a sump full of liverock, refugium mud, growing macroalgae in a sump, an extremely oversized skimmer, biopellets, dosing bacteria, very prudent feeding, manual removal of nuisance algae, etc. All of which costed me hundreds to perhaps a thousand dollars and so much work but I was still unable to keep nitrates and nuisance algae down.
     
    What impressed me the most is that a simple dosing of a $2 bottle of distilled vinegar that will last me months could get me the results I previously tried so hard to get.
     
    So, just wanted to share my experience here to see if anyone else could benefit from it.
     
    That being said, if you haven't read up about vinegar dosing, don't just anyhow add and make sure you read up to determine proper dosages.
