nice frags there! "starting" to colour up? lol

maybe that got a bit confusing, when i stated that u dosed a source of carbon i was using vodka, sugar, and vinegar along with that i was dosing a source of vitamins/ amino to see wat the difference would be. ive never tried korallen zucht's coral vitalizer, but if it smells like vinegar most likely its a form of acetate(carbon source). companies like zeovit and ultralith use products like acetate for a couple of there products as there system runs on fueling the bacteria in the system to lower the NO3 and PO4.
