Carbon Dosing

[roland_0313]

Just a general question, parang wala kasi ako nakitang existing thread eh...

Which is better... vodka, vinegar, or sugar?

Vodka + Vinegar mix bro..

I tried vinegar alone pero walang effect. up to the point na 60ml per day na yung dinodose ko na vinegar still 40ppm parin nitrates ko.. then ginawa ko ng vodka + vinegar mix 13ml lang per day bumaba na yung nitrates ko at nag stay na ko dun sa ml na yun hanggang maging zero.. tapos nung zero na nag bawas na ko ng dose..

right now 10ml yung maintaining dose ko sa 75g tank 25g sump.. zero to 5nitrates nitrates kahit overfeeding, overstock at kahit no waterchange.. importante lang dito dapat okay yung skimmer mo para mag work ng maayos yung dosing at mamaximize mo.. sinet ko sa wet skim yung skimmer ko.. RO nwb 110

ito yung mixture ko 200ml’s Vodka + 50ml’s vinegar. check mo nalang tong link na to.. ito yung reference ko.

edit: gamit kong vodka yung antonov na red, tapos yung vinegar ko either heinz or american garden na pure at white..

also ang downside lang nito babagsak yung pH mo pag nag carbon dosing ka.. ako kahit nag kalk ako naging 7.8 yung pH ko at kahit anong gawin ko ayaw tumaas.. kaya ito nag dodose ako ng aquavitro 8.4 para tumaas pH ko so far okay na

bro research mo lang dito ang vodka dosing meron thread nun at pati ung dosage nya

cosack vodka red ang ginamit ko , 100 proof ata yun, so habang nag dodose ka sa tanke , idose mo na rin sarili mo ! haha

Additional, for both vodka and vinegar, use the purest, cleanest brand that is still practical for you. Yung mga vodka definitely not flavored, and kung makahanap kayo ng triple distilled or better para less impurities.

Also, this will be a daily thing pag ginawa niyo. Hindi pwede i-bank ang dose (ie. you missed one day, double the dose after). That is a no-no.

Crucial din ang initial dosing, dapat maingat in determining your maintaining dose. Sundan niyo yung method ni Marvin. Bili kayo ng 1ml or 3ml syringes para mas accurate.

Eto magandang reference: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-08/nftt/index.php

Also, must resist temptation to drink the vodka.

ayos yan pag inom mo ng vodka mawawala narin nitrates mo sa katawan di muna kailangan mag C.R para ma WC yung katawan mo HAHAHAHA

[lickweed]

[obet_carlos]

ano pinaka ok? vodka and vinegar? ok lang supplement to kahit may BioPellets?

[seth]

may local distilled vinegar, Mama Sitas yung brand. As for cossack, okay lang naman kaso IME mas madalas ang pagkakaroon ng bacterial film.

re Datu Puti, may halong emulsifier yan at iba pang additives. Di natin alam effect in the long run.


magkakaroon ng effect sa pH ang carbon dosing kapag mahina yung skimmer at nag overdose. Bumababa rin temporarily ang alkalinity.


obet di na necessary. carbon din naman ang biopellets

Ok, so isa sa mga dapat tandaan, ready ka dapat sa pH swings. Make sure you got something like kalk, aquavitro 8.4, or Balance
