Vodka Dosing-Cloudy Water
I have been dosing Vodka for a little over a year. I was initially dosing a mix of vodka, vinegar and dextrose about 25ml daily in my 120g.
I have only been dosing vodka and dextrose (and as of yesterday vodka only) for a few months. I have a tiny spot of hair algae and occasionally a bit of cyano, so I know that phosphate and nitrates are present (test kits are inconclusive.
When I increased my dosage to battle the increased nutrients, I get less than clear water (slightly cloudy, and a milky film on my glass.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I feed moderately and have my tank stocked moderately.
Second question... I use mesh filter socks (easier to clean than felt) but I have a lot of particulates floating in my water, I am wondering why my water isn't clearer.
