Sugar Dosing

Postby DARKSTAR22 » Thu Jul 09, 2009 10:24 am

I stumbled upon some site that suggests Table sugar as a way or method to reduce nitrates...since i'm Curious about it...I give it a go

so the day before I proceed with the Dosing...here's my Parameters...

Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = "160"
Ph = 8.0
Ammonia = 0

My nitrates are way off the charts....

My Livestocks:
Bubble Coral
Actino
Zoas
Elegance Coral
Goniopora
Frogspawn

no fish....

at exactly 10:00 in the evening I dosed 1/4 tablespoon of sugar in my 25 gallon tank..

here's the result...at 10:00 in the morning, the skimmer is producing this...foul...skimmate...nitrate is down to between 40 and 80 ppm

Be careful with carbon dosing bro.

I've read an article that, coral reefs destruction are caused by water pollutants from untreated sewage that contains sugar.

I also tried this method once bro, i put 1tsp in my 40gal. Within 24hrs, the water became cloudy (could be bacteria bloom) and bubbles in the skimmer became frothy. I've noticed that the fishes are having breathing difficulties, the next day, I did 50% wc because I was worrying that my livestocks might die. Fortunately all fishes and corals survived, but most of my corals lost their colors & some zoas melted. :(

One day of stupidity, it took couple of months for my corals to recover their zoanthelae.

It's a lesson learned, just leave the sugar for your coffee and vodka for the party... as what Mr. Chuck said.. "Thou shalt not add if thou can not test"
