Carlo, I'm actually thinking about using a weaker dose daily for now as the NO3 drops. Since the recommended amount for my water volume is 40 ml, I'd rather dose 30 ml daily and let it come down a little more slowly. While your quote was about zeolites originally, I do believe I have corals that are used to high nitrates and would prefer to bring it down somewhat gradually so that I don't lose colonies I've had for years.

I'm hoping to see greater growth once those numbers are where they should have been all this time.

Steve - I'm not willing to take that risk at this time. It just seems too experimental to me, and I've heard from a few people about how they end up dealing with dinoflagellates after adding vodka (sugars) to their tank.

If I can get the nitrates down to a respectable level that my DSB, LR, and refugium can handle, I'd prefer to do so without creating a new problem to deal with.
