Ok just thought I would share some info.
I am on week 6 of vodka dosing, started off for the first 2 weeks just increasing by 0.1ml of vodka then increased it by 0.5ml as advised on other sites.
Im on week 6 dosing 5ml twice a day and my Nitrates have started to fall, skimmer is going mental skimming out all the crap and had a slight diatom outbreak.
I am now going to continue dosing 5ml twice a day until Nitrates and Phos are undetectable by the test kit then half the dosage, if they increase again increase it by 0.1ml each week until they drop off again then I have found my maintenance dosage.
Took some time to happen and did want to give up at times but its all paying off now, no ill effects either, fish, corals and inverts all are fine.
