To increase potency currently adding 2 tsp vinegar with 5 tsp Kalk to 2.5 Gallons. This helps maintain ALK and Calcium but what about carbon source will the vinegar provide this function should I add additional vinegar directly to DT for better results? Very frustrated with my 80 gallon reef system. Finding my PO4 and NO3 levels with a one sided algae scrubber seems hopeless must be working always get a handful of algae harvested every 5 - 7 days. My salifert PO4 shows zero but algae still grows on glass and rocks. My NO3 API kit also shows zero not sure if this is correct corals just don't seem happy need recommendations.
