How much vodka do you use per gallon of water then to keep the nitrates down. I am getting ready to start up a 180 gl reef tank and would like better results this time.

That chart is awesome. I was wondering about the dosage as well. Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome Lairsey

I have been using vodka in my tank for the last four years, best thing i'v used for Phosphate & Nitrate.....before that it was Red sea Nopox but that was three times the price and not as good.

Tbh I was using it but to me at least it seemed to be doing nothing me thinks it was a lot to do with the skimmer not working properly I will try again when everything has settled down

yes, Red sea Nopox is not so good but Phosphate & Nitrate are amazing. They are cheap and are good for use. I am also using Phosphate & Nitrate and I have seen a much better result.

Hi MichaelLeslie and welcome to fish-keeping.com

It looks like you have a marine tank with posting in this part of the forum, it would be nice to know a bit more about your tank, like size of your tank what fish and corals you have in there and how long you have been in the hobby :fishy:

Once again welcome to fish-keeping

Regards
Gary.
