I've been reading up on Vodka dosing for about 2 months now, and last week decided that I had a firm enough grasp on why I am dosing Vodka and the risks/rewards that come with such a regime. I'm now starting my 2nd week of dosing and so far everything seems to be doing great. I don't have a dip on NO3 yet, but I think I'll be working my way there shortly.
I came across VSV dosing last Wednesday, and I came across http://glassbox-design.com/2008/the-vsv-method-faq/ where there is a recipe for dosing VSV. I've read up on dosing VSV and why one would want to dose VSV (to promote diversity amongst the denitrifying bacteria); however after completely reading this thread Who's dosing Vodka? Why? and following the link to UR where a mod there used Ultrabio to combat high Nitrates I started to wonder if using Vodka and then using a Prodibio product would yield the same results as dosing VSV.
I've read members views on Vodka, such as Melev and the wonders of Vodka if done properly. However I would hate for a monoculture to develop within my aquarium and it end up having nitrate problems in the end. Would it be wise to just switch to VSV, if so, is the link I provided the best recipe for dosing VSV or is there something better that I haven't uncovered? Could I use a combo of Vodka and Prodibio?
