				 Hey everyone.....first time poster. I just started vodka dosing my reef and i was curious to hear your experiences doing this. Any tips and tricks? 
 |  I'm running Zeovit, but the same carbon dosing principles apply:
 
- Keep it consistent.  Ideally set it up on an automatic doser (BRS 1.1mL/min is ideal), and split up your dosing to run several times per day.  (I run 4x per day, every 6 hours).
 
- You can over do it.  If you start seeing algae/diatom-ish blooms, take 2-3 days break and then start back up with say 25% less.
 
- Don't make HUGE changes too fast.  If you aren't happy with your nitrate/phosphate levels, change your dosing by 10% - then do it for 2 weeks and see if it has changed anything. |
