Re: Reds first sw tank

On the Vodka, sugar or vinager dosing I wouldnt do it. I was thinking about it my self untill I looked into it even further. Here is a quote from a fellow reefer on one of my threads on another forum

"I don't recommend it.

Study the Zeovit system to see what is really involved with doing this. There is much more to it than just adding a carbon source. Add the carbon, then you have to keep adding bacteria so that bad bacteria don't dominate. You need a mega skimmer to remove all the bio mass you just encouraged. You then need to be adding back food and amino acids that the bacteria just removed. If not the corals starve and die. It's a fine line between a pastel colored coral and a dead one."

If your not very experienced in this the I would not atempt it.
