It's an interesting thought but I have some doubts vodka will do anything as I'm already dosing TA NO3 Destroyer and I'm sure that stuff has vodka in it (smells like vodka anyhow??). It's a zoanthid tank with no seriously light dependent things in it so I'm just shutting the lights off for a week and see what happens. Sorry here I go hijacking poor Doug's thread again. Just so it's not a complete hijack: I'm not sure what brand of timer I use, but it's just some standard thing from Rona/HD/whatever with an electronic timer and 3-prong plug. I've got some that are 4 years old by now and still working .. Maybe it's Intermatic? I'm not sure offhand. I'll check out what it is and post back because I totally have no hesitations with them. Not bad for $20 or so. Also, I tried the dual-plug Hamilton timer, it generally is OK except 1) the plugs are not independent, it's just a convenience factor that you can plug 2 items into it without a plug extender, and 2) the clock does drift, after a few months I notice it's a good few minutes off the rest of the house. I'd guess around 15 minutes every 6 months or so.

Of course if you REALLY want a Profilux or something, don't let me stop you.
