Hi all

This question is for those who are still dosing vodka. I know many have switched to bio pellets but I prefer the more precise nature of dosing.
How many ml and how large is your system?
What are you housing?
 
I try vodka every now and then. But I always end up with cyno from it.
My system is 125 and I got up to 7 ml a day with no noticeable change
 
Just my tc, seachem matrix in the sump in a mesh bag. Auquaforest pro bio s. no3 po4 are zero and between zero and .02 depending on my feeding schedule. quick easy it works...save the Vodka for your favorite beverage...lol
 
i dose 5ml/ daily, an exact cap ful of the cheapest stuff at the liquor store- tank size 150gal
 
I switch pretty quick from vodka to vinegar and very happy with it. In a 120 tank it took about 60 mls to get to 0 nitrates. I am now on a maintanence dose of 28 mls. I dose via BRS pump over 12 hours. Never an alge issue or bloom. Took a good 3 months to get nitrates down completely.
 
i switched from vinegar to vodka- Vodka gave me better results

How many drops do you think I would need to use for a 75 gallon tank?

Thank you,
