For those of you who dose only vodka, I was trying to get an idea of how much vodka you dose daily.

Please give your tank size or net water volume. Also it can be helpful if you say how many fish you have or how often you feed.

I've been dosing for about a month. I started with undetectable NO3 and PO4 (using Hanna Colormeter).

Total net water volume - 400gal
Vodka Dosing - 4.5ml 2x a day.

I plan on upping the dosage to 5ml on Friday.

Im at an estimated 110g of water (112g tank, ~40g usable in sump, minus rock).

I am up to 2.0 ml daily, but am hoping for that to decrease with my new skimmer.

I feed 4 times a day, though. Small amounts, but 4 times, none the less. I have anthias, so they tend to make the bioload a bit high.

I dosed based on this article here. 5 fish, feed 1 to 2 times per day. 125 total volume, approx 90 gallon net. was up to as high as 2.3ml per day. now maintaining .5ml.

I've been following the article. I was wondering what the avg rates of dosage were for people.

Anyone else?
