I did add some to my main tank, about 10ml for 75 gallons, and none of my coral were affected except it was an instant closure of most of my zoanthids and paly. I have dip zoanthids in it for a few minutes without bad effect though, so this reaction was only temporary.

As for dosing in the tank, I did not see much effect on algae and the required quantity for killing algae is probably a bit too much for the main tank with coral.

I did also use it to cure a pocillopora from RTN or brown jelly and it worked well. The coral looked bad for a few days but the RTN stopped and the coral has healed well.

That's the only think I ever tried to cure RTN or brown jelly that ever worked. I have tried Furan2, iodine etc...nothing worked before.

I was wondering if anyone had/has used the 3% in dips, dosing, or pest removal. I do understand it can and will have affects on bacterial populations.

But would like some real insight to this application and possibly if it would help solve the O2 depletion of vodka dosing. After all it is just water with a unstable oxygen molecule.

Thanks for your input
