Thinking of doing this as well tagging along.:biggrin:

Querium? Are you sure you only dosed yourself with one shot?

My kid started calling it that while I was building it and I sort of think it fits:mrgreen:

Fare enough. I'm curious to follow along and hear about your experience too. I've tried vodka dosing as well on two separate occasions but stopped immediately as soon as anything changed in my system. I've become a bit paranoid when it comes to my tank. Okay I'm just paranoid all the time. Plus it seems like a waste of delicious vodka...

what are the supposed benefits of vodka dosing, ive heard of it but dont understand

Heres a Reef Keeping Magazine article on Vodka dosing.
