After 4 months of vodka dosing I have decided to try the UltraLITH/Fauna Marin regime instead. I did not have a bacterial bloom with vodka but I still required Rowaphos to keep my phosphates down and still had to clean my glass daily. I also had some persistent cyano on my sand bed, appearance of hair algae and lately some bacterial? stringers. I have great acro and polli colors and growth but upgrading from 2x250w MH to 2x400w MH seems to have had much more of a positive effect on coloration than the vodka ever did.
Rather than temp fate I have decided to try another approach. It is obviously much more expensive (!) and I will be monitoring the results closely.
