Vodka and Zeo?

[jwaltman21]

Just curious here:

On the other site I saw that some german reefers were dosing vodka as a carbon source to reduce PO4 and NO3. I also read that Zeo has a similar methodology i.e. start 2 is actually a carbon source or denitrifying bacteria.

Has anyone here tried to combine these two methods for: 1) increase the rate of nutrient reduction and; 2) limit the use of a relatively expensive Zeo component (start 2) and supplement its carbon contribution to nutrient reduction with a relatively inexpensive carbon source (Vodka;...Popov not Belvedere!!!)?

Thanks,

Jamie

BTW I also saw how much they hate Zeo over there when they haven't used it or even tried it!

Of course ... this is ZeoVille. We are an inquisitive group, after all ... hehe ...

Thanks for the information. I forgot that there was a search function on "this site" as well! Interesting stuff indeed. I wonder if Idrhawke or others have had any long-term success... I guess a search is in order!
