Whats that stuff smell like? Not the skimmate but the azno2?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I don't smell anything, it is sticky though.

Put a little bit in a soda cap and let it dry out and see if it crystallizes. I bet its sugar and water.

lol come on Chris do you think it's sugar

I can't remember if its clear or there might be a slight color to it. Must check when i get home.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Day 3, there is a blue tint to it.

Thinkin Reef · Greeter Of New Geeks

Is it working ?

Thats the main thing

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Thinkin Reef · Greeter Of New Geeks

Still a bit early give it a week and then test it

watch your skimmer pull out more stuff when you start dosing more mls of AZNO3

Yeah you are right there is a blue tint.

chris&barb · Lost

a little touch of blue dye so you dont think it sugar

Sneezy · Big-Geek

LOL I don't know what it is.

The contents are:

Concentrated Ptyalin Hydrolyzed Massecuite, Sodium Chloride, MG Aqueous and Cozymase Enzymes.

Ptyalin=A form of amylase in the saliva of humans and some animals that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into maltose and dextrin.

Massecuite= The mixture of sugar crystals and syrup (mother liquor) obtained during the crystallization stage of sugar refining.

So in other words its fancy, thick sugar

Sneezy · Big-Geek

So what you are saying it is a fancy way of saying it is basically the same as Vodka dosing?

ozzie · Reef-Geek

Interesting so Chris in plain English is it sugar and Vodka

But it does remove nitrates in a very quick time

Thinkin Reef · Greeter Of New Geeks

Agreed Theo , and it very well could be , but mate as you know and i know , it removes nitrates at a very quick time , so at the end of the day who cares !

lol Chris and i care so i want to know now

Thinkin Reef · Greeter Of New Geeks

ok then , lets make this easy

Dose the exact same amount in vodka , as azno3! "over the 28 days " In 2 different tanks with the same nitrates and using the same test kit

Check out the difference !

Cheers

lol i'm thinking about it but once i run out of AZNO3

. I have stop using my phosphate Reactor for las 3 weeks i think NO PO4

but i have been dosing AZNO3 lol but i supose i don't really feed my fish

Thinkin Reef · Greeter Of New Geeks

Theo the only way to know for sure , as what works better is , same nitrates , same tank , same skimmer , and same feeding habbits .
Hence , never my idea will ever work

But if say Skinz has been trying Vodka "with not luck" and with Azno3 he has dropped the nitrates , then i would think imo the azno3 works better !

Only an opinion
