    DSA 135....

    From recent reading it looks like a mix of vinegar and vodka works better, two sources leads to multiple bacteria types. The mix recommended is around 2 parts vinegar to 1 part vodka

    Step your carbon dosing up if you can measure both and keep dosing nitrate. Also what carbon source do you dose?

    Dose the nitrates slowly I dose .5 ppm daily. I get algae if I raise over 1ppm a day.

    Might want to try soda lime. And tell people in your house to stop breathing so much!

    If your ph is over 7.8 there is no reason to chase higher. I have oversized skimmers too much in the past and they actually can't skim, not enough waste to make it up the neck.

    Are you currently running the skimmer air intake outside?

    But if he doses nitrates he most likely will be able to remove the gfo. And sorry that I derailed your post, but I think you have the correct size skimmer for your tank

    So dosing nitrates might help lower your phosphates

    Look up the Redfield ratio. If Your nitrates are zero carbon dosing cannot lower phosphate. I personally think if you go bigger the performance of the skimmer Will go down. If you go to big did don't have enough waste for the skimmer to be stable.

    That will work just fine. Start slow , dropping phos fast can be rough on corals. Do half of what they recommend.

    If your getting 0 tds you can't have more than .01 phos in the rodi water. Not enough to worry about.

    Buy a hanna 736 will be one of the best things you ever buy for your tank. The api is not actuate enough for reef tanks. If it is leaning towards .25 your phos is way to high. Do you have a Gfo reactor ?

    If your tds is always zero out I would look elsewhere for the algae issues. And my advice in my first post is sound no matter what your incoming water is like. Do you test your phosphates?
