gonna try vodka dosing

awesome haha someone take before and afters so we can see color differences and polyp extention differences

 

If you look at my build thread.. the center acropora can see the difference between before and after..

 

;DYeah, get some pics quick.. I'm impatient.

 

I was curious as to your dosing regimen. My tank is the same size as your with +12g for the fuge. How would I go about dosing vodka in my tank?

 

calm calm young one..

 

I have considered vodka dosing in the past... however I have heard that it turns your sand bed into a toxic wasteland. After a while of dosing you have to be very careful not to disturb your bed because it gets completely toxic.

Have you heard this?

 

I have not heard this. Not sure why it should be so. The purpose of the vodka is to provide food for bacterial growth. So I don't know why the sandbed would be affected.

 

yes i cant see how either because the carbon source should be the only thing being added to your water and this will allow the bacteria to out-comete the algae for the source of food... but ill try and find the source of this sandbed info

 

now thats some improvment

 

I've never heard of this vodka thing before. Can someone plain exactly what it does?

Thanks.
