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?

No, I prefer not adding any more gear. I could, I have a reactor, but will try with the vodka first

Sounds like you already are trying...and it sucks!

I put vinegar in the kalkwasser, but that's about as crazy as my VSV dosing gets.
