If you want to remove nitrates: IMO the only way to go is Nitraguard Biocubes! Its simple, and proven highly effective. I have personally tested it against vinegar and bio pellets and would never turn back. None of the common complaints others have had with vinegar and bio pellets.

"One of the added benefits of dosing vodka vinegar is that you are creating waterborne bacteria. Your corals can then feed off them"

I would have to disagree that the bacteria is waterborne and feeding corals. Vodka/Vinegar is a carbon source that will feed the bacteria and aid in concentrating on a surface. Bio Pellets are a surface which is designed to promote habitat for the bacteria.

Nitraguard Bio-cubes have been designed around redfield ratio, essentially allowing you to remove nitrate if you have no available phosphate.
