    We have threads on here from folks who have done it. I suggest you search for vodka dosing.

    Vodka dosing is ideal for nitrate removal though their are other products that perform and offer the same benefits as vodka but aren't flammable for one. Brightwell Aquatics has a product out that is comparable to the vodka method.
