I have not tried Carbon Dosing. I think that I will. I do have some questions about it though. I recently added GFO, and more importantly added the right amount as per the BRS reef calculator. My PO4 went from 0.20 on the hanna, down to 0.10 with too little GFO, and down to 0.00 with the right amount. At each step, I could see a distinct decrease in the growth of the hair algae. I still have issues with blooms, but all levels are undetectable, adn the growth has slowed significantly. Would I be OK to start Vodka dosing right now? Would I be smarter to take the hit on sleep, and properly set up my Zeo system? Can you dose vodka and run zeo at the same time? What about N/P pellets? I have them, and a reactor, but for some reason it takes a lot of work for me to get proper tumbling out of them... they make me ANGRY!! lol.
