I have never tried but am interested in the process.

If you don't, why?
If you do; how and with what? What results?

Biopellets in recirculating reactor or biopellets with addition/replanishment of pellets monthly. 0.0 nitrates and tons of fish in a 110 gallon.
 
Yes. Vinegar on dosing pumps a couple ml per hour all day every day. Never had pe like I do now.
 
My choices are never on these polls so I won't answer.

Yes, I used carbon sources and they reduced nitrate (primarily), however I saw too many deleterious effects over the years and quit using them altogether. Water changes, proper stocking, light feeding, and good husbandry equal HOMEOSTASIS:)
 
I dose 1.2 ml of vodka per day. Seems if I go any higher I get a bacteria bloom. Been dosing for years. I think it definitely increases skimmer output.
