Yeah, First time I dosed vodka I had no idea what I was doing. Killed a lot of stuff. Dont be stupid like me, if your interested in it, do about a months worth of research before dosing one drop.

I wouldnt do the vodka I use biofuel in my big systems, have always heard about dosing vodka but have always stayed away

I would be cautious in using carbon dosing in an unskimmed system. I was under the impression that w/o a skimmer to remove bacteria, you would only be increasing the bioload.

I agree completly. I only dose a drop when I pull the sponge out, to let the bacteria get a jump start on the load. I usually put the drop directly in the sponge after I clean it, then place the sponge back in. (thats in my 2.5 gallon) In my 45 I dose .8ml every morning religously.

this vodka dosing is wild. i first heard it (dosing vodka in a reef) and I was like "there is no way they are talking about VODKA, you know like alcohol?" lol. crazy stuff i wouldn't do it I'd be afraid.
