vinegar and vodka in kalk ATO

[capt85]

I have been vodka dosing for 3 months now and like how things are going.

In the past month I finally built my ATO to add kalkwasser. When mixing my kalk I use 2TP of pickling lime and 20oz of vinegar per gallon to fully saturate it.

I have been reading that you can add vodka to your ATO to avoid adding it daily which I have been doing.

Here is the question. I know I am adding 2 carbon sources in this fassion but, I wondered if adding vodka to my mix will it diminish the result or negatively effect my system at all?

Thanks for the input.

I've asked Randy Holmes-Farley about this and he says there shouldn't be any issues. FWIW, I've been adding vinegar and vodka to my kalkwasser ato for a few years now with no ill effects.

Thanks. I appreciate the info.

This will make it so I have one less thing to do daily.:bigsmile:
