Vodka Dosing Volume Recommendation Please

[DLANDINO]

Hi all, I want to try my hand at vodka dosing. I have been noticing a red bubble algae forming on my rocks and it is spreading quite quickly. What would the recommended dosage be for a 46 gallon tank with an estimated 31 gallons of water after factoring out LR and LS?

I have a mixed reef leaning more toward the SPS and LPS side fo the house. Have a Deltec MCE600 Skimmer, 3 inch sand bed (80 lbs), 60 lbs LR and no sump.


Thanks.

Tagging along and would also like to know what Vodka to purchase. My Nitrates were zero for a while (after bringing them down from 80+) and now they are creeping up to 5ppm lately. Want to nip in the bud before it gets out of hand.......Thx
