I have been dosing Vodka for about a month now and I am watching it very carefully to see if anything goes wrong with my coral. But so far so good, they are all coloring up more nice than before. If bio pellets is the only way that I can set up an UV again because it holds bacteria in the reactor like Cal_stir said, then maybe I have to try it one more time with those "scary" pellets.
recirculating biopellet reactors are entering the market,Reefdynamics is making one, I have built one and have just got it up and running, you can control how much aquarium water goes thru it and thus prevent total stripping of nutrients from the water.
