If I drink the Vodka, I won't care about nitrate control!

Just to muddy the water a little, I add a swig of vinagar to my pickleing lime topoff to help the lime disolve. I assume that this has the same effect on the tank. It might have the same effect on me ....

That's just a viscious rumour...

(Actually I like Margaritas...)

IMO it sounds like a waste of perfectly good Vodka... the fish would never appreciate it!!!
