    This stuff is relatively cheap and from what I have read, it is an effective substitute for the vodka method, which requires a lot of work and can be dangerous for the tank.

    Brightwell Aquatics Reef Biofuel Liquid 17oz 500mL

    Does anyone have experience using it to control nitrates and phosphates? Do you need a super awesome skimmer or would something like the AquaC Remora do the job alright?

    The Bio-Reef fuel worked as advertised in my tank.
    Not sure if it was the actual chemicals or what,but the crud in the skimmer cup got thicker and nastier after a week or so of use.

    I used it until I sold my tank. We also use it at the LFS.
