Hi guys, I’m assuming that when you mix up your VSV mix, that you store it for a period of time. How long is it safe to store once mixed? Do you keep it refrigerated? I’m just concerned about it going off after a period of time.

Cheers.

Hi. I have been vodka dosing for 14 weeks now with amazing results in my 450 gallon FOWLR tank. I think I may try the “cocktail” here and see how that goes. Do you recommend dosing in the return area of the sump or in the display?. My fish are more colorful than ever and I have crystal clear water and great growth on my live rock. The only drawback I have seen is my fish “flash” every once in a while due to I believe the chemical irritation of the vodka. My nitrates before dosing were over 200. They now are sitting at 10 to 20.

@Roberto, It is possible the Purigen will bind some of the organic carbon, but I have used VSV and Purigen with no problems.

[...] Zeovit utilizes zeolite stones as a substrate to cultivate bacteria. These bacteria are cultivated in the water column and within the reactor via carbon and bacteria additives. An important part of the system is agitating the stones to release the build up of bacteria, called mulm, to be removed via the protein skimmer. For more information on Carbon dosing, take a peek at our popular VSV article. [...]

Great article. I was thinking of trying this with my tank as I’ve been battling GHA and some funny looking brown hair algae for a few months now. I was wondering what you would recommend dose wise if your N03 and PO4 test out as zero?

I know they can’t possibly be zero due to the algae growth in my display tank.

Thanks,
Andy
