So... What is everyone using? Top shelf, mid shelf, bottom shelf?
I'd hate to think my fish are getting a bad hangover with cheap vodka!
There's a local vodka brewer here. Blue shark vodka.
It's fishy it has to be good for a reef right?;Happy

In Canada, NoPox is cheaper than Vodka.
Nopox has vinegar in it and vodka. Vinegar is an acid which brings your Ph down. I'm using vinegar but looking at vodka. From what I read you need to use less vodka than vinegar.

I’ve always used vinegar .
cheaper but you need to dose more .
Reef central days There used to be a conversion for the amount of vinegar required compared to vodka .

you can find dosing charts for both vinegar and vodka .

Any vodka (unflavored 80 proof) works the same.

The only two times I’ve tossed in something other than bottom of the barrel stuff, I discovered my flasher wrasse donning a monocle and top hat after getting some Belvedere, and once heard my pink-streaked wrasse whisper “turn up” when I used some Ciroc that needed to be disposed of.

I only use the good vodka. I know this because it says so right on the bottle:

I purchase the least expensive I can find because it doesn't make any difference....you're buying ethanol, and they all have ethanol. Just don't buy the flavored stuff, although it most likely wouldn't make a difference. Most recently I'm finding Travelers Club Vodka for $12.99 for 1.75 liters in New Jersey.
