No acid wash , bleach , 3 mths in the dark etc. Just plain old husbandry and a little bacteria help .
No water changes yet since initial fill and still on my first batch of gfo
I do read of issues all the time though with it so there must be some merit to it for sure |
Your vinegar dosing from day 1 probably helped. And what "bacteria help" did you use? You also probably had a good skimmer, so P04 didn't have a chance to form in the water.
