| Re: Grain Alcohol?
IMO if you have to dose stuff to kick start bacteria populations in the tank, then something else in the tank is out of whack.
If there is enough live rock and sufficent substrate or filter media for bacteria to colonize, then there is no need to additional bacteria to consume nutrients. Plus I haven't seen any documented data on long term effects of adding small amounts of grain alcohol on tank inhabitants. Although not much, I still wonder what the additional affects are.
Plus, i agree with wit. Don't waste alcohol. |
