I can't do anything immediately, so I'll try and get the numbers down over the next month. See what happens after that. I'll raise carbon a bit and see if that helps. thx

That's more like it. Same chart for vodka, so about the same as what I'm adding. I'll give it more time and see what develops.

I never had any luck with vodka dosing - all I managed was to brown out my Acros. Ever considered biopellets?

Maybe same premise, but not the same in actual practice. Bio pellets = easy, rest = PITA. It always kills me when I see people that insist on doing things the hard way... And you can't tell them otherwise...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Ya, lots of ways of doing it, some work better for one person, not the next.
