I just recently started vodka dosing last month to drop my nitrates and phosphates, i could not keep them under control with the amount of frozen food i feed the fish and corals. Even with gfo or redsea na/po. The vodka has worked great and is really keeping everything in check.
Now for the question. In the past week i have had on 2 occasions the water suddenly drop an inch (about 3gallons) in less then 3 days. I have never had water evaporate this fast even over 3 weeks! Even in the summer when i keep the tank 2? warmer. I have a red sea max 66 gallon tank with a full hood. I have checked everywhere for leaks and there are none in sight.
Has anyone else had this effect with using vodka? Or is there somthing else I should check?
I'm taking out about a cup a week from the skimmer 2x the normal but not 6 gallons worth.
(Definatly not a leak the apex shows a steady salt increase and goes back to the normal level when i top off with RO)
