tried everything nitrates still there

Dosing with vodka according to the RK magazine is better IMO due to the fact that the goal is to avoid the bacteria bloom (tank clouds up) that's why you start off slow. But, you can do the same with sugar as well. And there's a thread out there that discusses sugar dosing but it's not as detailed as the vodka thread. If you’re not 21 yet sugar and vinegar is your next best alternative.

i tried sugar dosing a couple months ago and it eliminated my nitrates in a week. I would swear by this stuff.

Almost like vodka dosing, but a lot cheaper and more vodka for you!

Now i just add about a 1/2 tsp to my 90 gall every week or so just for precautionary reasons.... 0 nitrates!!!!!
