vodka

[SeanK]

i used the search and googled it

but i still dont completely understand what vodka dosing actually does.

from what i read, it makes bacteria eat everything then the skimmer pulls them out of the water?

not sure.

 

i have a 40br and was considering vodka dosing since people talk about it alot.

if i started, how much would i dose?

vodka dosing isn't as popular with nano tanks as it is with larger tanks. a generic google search yields better results:

Also, look at this thread just two or three under this one.

 

Basically, it's pulled from an ongoing conversation about vodka dosing, and includes good links.

i want a simple straight forward answer to what vodka dosing achieves.

i know that vodka dosing makes corals look brighter and stuff

but how?

are you being serious? click on my google link above - or, since you are so skilled in searching, google it yourself. you don't even need to click on any of the results. just read the descriptions and you'll have your answer.

 

geez. lazy.

Vodka dosing is supposed to support a bacterial bloom which in turn eats nitrates/phosphates from the water, lowering your nitrate levels. Its tough in a nano because it can burn your corals. Go slowly if you try it.
