Karen shared interesting information specifically about combating phosphates.

Yes, there's interesting information there, but you need to be extremely careful with vodka. The guy almost passed out.

In principle, vodka is not necessary - you can add other hydrocarbons, such as starch. Just make sure to calculate the dosage accurately.

Today there was a "colloquium" about starch at our Bird Market. "Priznyaki" have been successfully used for a long time... I am currently using glucose in the fight against nitrates, but so far I don't see the results I was hoping for. 25 g per liter is not the effect...

People will do anything to avoid using a more powerful skimmer, but what's the point of this bubbling in the "ref"? Another skimmer, but instead of "removed waste," we get "floating-removed waste." It's all part of the series "we're going north...," skimmer + algae eater + remover - that's the whole trick, you can throw away the algae eater; if you're not too lazy to calculate the doses and have a doser, you can carefully acclimate the aquarium to vodka (with a good skimmer in place).

If there are positive results, let them do it if they want. I don't want to dig through Google; there are examples of successfully operating systems without a skimmer, and there is information not only on the internet, I know systems that work this way. I have one myself, and it's not about the skimmer; its power is quite sufficient, but it hasn't been working for a long time, the system manages on its own. I don't know what detritus is, I don't siphon the bottom... Please check my profile, everything is visible there. P.S. For the umpteenth time, I am not encouraging anyone to repeat this method. Here, I say again, it's a personal approach. Everyone is free to choose their own path.

Tolya, why is the question phrased that way? What bothers you about the remover? Yes, it's a bit expensive, and ideally it requires a reactor, but the result is predictable. The only downside is that you can't put it directly into an aquarium with "high" phosphates, as it causes a sharp drop that can shock the inhabitants.

I found it after all. Well, I wouldn't say that, so it confuses me. The same purigen, for example, is a good thing, but if there's a possibility not to use removers, it's better not to use them. There have been unpleasant incidents (I. "Norad.").

Did you like the aquarium?
