Should I Carbon Dose (Vodka)

I should ask if I should continue dosing vodka on a 180 gallon reef. Well first I've had my thank for about 11 months already. I have 0 phosphate on both phosphorus and phosphate hanna checker. Also 0 nitrates according to salifert and API test kit. I do have some hair algea the reason for wanting to continue dosing vodka. I started dosing vodka 2 days ago 1ml into about ~180 gallons. My goal is to reduce the amount of hair algea I have. Right now running ROX carbon and no GFO. What do you guys think?

Sounds like one of several fine approaches.
