I have cautiously experimented with both vodka and vinegar dosing. I am still deciding which, if either, I should make part of my routine. I started by adding a very minimal amount two days before a planned water change to see if I can see any difference in the skimate produced. So far with the...

Since you have several clams you might consider carbon dosing to reduce the nitrates. They will happily consume the bacteria produced (what doesn't get skimmed). Perhaps a little vinegar or vodka when you do you Mg dosing.
