Carbon (VSV) dosing volumes

[Aquattro]

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 15ml of vodka, no way I'm adding that much

Sorry guys I posted my alk dosing schedule. My total system is about 190 gal I am dosing 12 times a day 5ml not 10ml so total 60 ml . I have been following this chart for the most part with good results . I started dossing march 15 .

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?

Yup, all the same basic premise.

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...

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