How many of you guys are dosing vinegar, and what's your dose look like?

Have you considered Tropic Marin NP-Bacto-Balance?

I dose vinegar. 65 gallon rimless, 3ml/day

I dosed an average of 110 ml of 5% acidity vinegar to my system of about 300 gallons total. I tested lots of dose levels and 400 mL per day was too much, with hazy water and some creatures not looking optimal.

I used to dose 37ml per day in my roughly 100 gallon system.

 

[NowGlazeIT]

30ml daily on a 150g system when nutrients were elevated.
12ml now that the tank is a ulns
Skimmers love this stuff so watch out

That answer varies as there isn’t really a recipe for carbon dosing….ya kinda go slow (vinegar will make bacterial mats if you go gonzo at first) and ramp it up and find where it’ll hold where you want.
