i read about it in a magazine and i've seen a few threads about it, so i decided to give it a try. i started dosing 80 proof vodka in my 125 display and 55 sump setup. it seems to be doing alot better and it seems like the water is cleaner than ever. i haven't been adding much, just 3-5 ml a day. does anyone else on here dose vodka or have any tips for me?

Go slow. 5 mils is not a small amount in 125 gallons. You want to reduce phosphates but not strip them completely. You can turn your sps pastel like colors if you over do it. Get or borrow a hannah LR phosphate meter to see how your doing.
