I have been carbon dosing for about 3-4 months. I started with Nopox, but changed to vodka about 3 weeks ago. I was at about 40 mls of Nopox, and about 3 weeks ago, i started using 20 mls of vodka daily, to then a week ago upping it to 25 mls of vodka a day.
My nitrates are creeping up, going from as low as 30 (Hannah nitrate checker) to now around 60. That’s also with two 25 percent water changes in between, and running a diy algae scrubber that gets good growth. It is a very heavily stocked 150 gallon tank.
Are there instances where vodka just doesn’t work? Or is 25 mls simply not enough for a 150 total gallon system.
Thanks
