I also haven't posted much on my results with carbon (VSV) dosing....mostly because I haven't really seen anything significant to report on.

I dose 6ml per day of VSV mix (Vodka, Sugar, Vinegar). My nitrates were always near zero and continue to be so. The VSV has not made any measurable impact on phosphate, which is also usually very low (.05 - .1ppm).

I was hoping it would reduce the problems I have with cyano, but that hasn't really changed at all. A day of darkness every month or so is the only way I can keep cyano in check.

I also add MB7...but only 1x per week. I don't think I'll continue this much longer. I've also been daily dosing Brightwell's Coralcolour, which I will also stop doing when the bottle runs out.

To your original question though... I'm dosing zeo/Pohls AA and haven't tried the Brightwell AA at this time.

Anyway...the tank seems happy at this time, so I'm stuck doing what I'm doing until something changes.
