Hey everyone! I just recently started vodka dosing (per the instructions of reef central) my SPS heavy reef tank, and have a question for those of you who do the same. The main reason I started dosing is to replace the cost of GFO (I know, I know, Its not a big cost, I just like the control of dosing set amounts). Before I started dosing, my parameters were 0.00 no3 and around .02 po4 (Salifert and Hannah). My first question is, if nitrates are undetectable with my salifert test kit, can I still dose vodka just to keep po4 right where it is around .2 or do I need nitrates present in order to "equally" reduce both parameters? To sum it up, if no no3 is present can I still dose vodka to keep phosphate low? Also, if anyone that has been dosing has any advice, I would LOVE to hear it. Thanks guys!
