Run GFO with vodka dosing?

I've got measurable (20) nitrates that I would like to get rid of. Phosphate is not an issue b/c of GFO. Should I remove GFO if I want to dose vodka? I worry about bringing PO4 too low, or limiting the bacteria with PO4 and thus they wont remove nitrate.

I ran GFO while doing a carbon dosing routine. It didn't hurt anything but the reactors got clogged up with the bacteria slime from the carbon dosing.
