Dosing vinegar from $1.00 store good or bad

Jyetman · 11/19/2014, 05:04 PM

Not seeing any results dosing vinegar with my KALK ATO. This might be a bad idea buying cheap vinegar from the dollar store. The brand is Lucy's and says only 5 % acidity is it not strong enough? Currently my ATO is 2.5 Gallons so using 4 tsp of KALK + 5 to 6 cap fulls of vinegar. Any suggestions?

I've always used the cheapest 5% white vinegar I can find.. from cheap chinese markets to american markets..

did you follow the dosing guide? I have 2 Part so I don't dose with Kalk.. started off with 15mg of vinegar. Now I dose about 50mg per day on my 100gal.
