Has anyone tried this custom coral snow mix?

If the tank is new, I think chemiclean is more of a band-aid solution.
Ride it out, throw some pods in. I was able to get through the cyano phase of a new tank recently with a bottle of apex or tigger pods from reef nutrition in a few days.

Vodka dosing has become a simple method for reduction of nitrates and phosphates that have plagued many reef aquarists. Here we have described a method for reduction of these nutrients by stimulation and promotion of bacterial growth through the addition of vodka.

So i made the mixture 1000ml of rodi water
20 table scoops of calcium carbonate
It looks super micky
Following the instructions says 5ml per 50 gallons
I’m going to half that dose my first run at 2.5ml per 50 gallons
Then it says 10 drops of microbact 7 anyone have any idea how much mls that would be?

Also those of you who have done this… fhis is safe and it won’t nuke my tank right haha
