I'm interested in vodka dosing. I'll tag with you on this one.

Threads on RC suggest to split the dosing during the day. But for the little ammount that I'll be doing I don't think its worth it. Will start tonight, as soon as I go get a little syringe thingy..

I remember going to the vet supply store to buy a needle and "syringe thingy" after I got off work. I was dressed in my holy sweats and t-shirt with holes burned throughout. They kinda looked at me like a junkie! Man talk about embarrasing

LOL. I think I'll just hit shoppers drug mart or something like that and see if I can grab them there. I'm only dosing .3 ml...so I need a tiny one LOL

still no syringe, because, well...I'm lazy. But I picked up a little clam from Lorenzo, some nice Orange Centered Zoas from Underwater and stunning Rodactus from Snappy. This tank is actually starting to look like something!

I've also increased the ammount of time the MH's are on. I was running them for 6 hours but over the last week have increased that up to 8 hours a day.

Tomorrow a friend of mine is giving me a male Mandarin. Woooopa! I have loads of copepods (before you guys even ask) and have had lots of experience with these little gaffers.

*sigh* call me stupid, but I'm switching this bad boy out to Bare Bottom. The flow I've got going is creating a continual sandstorm, which is disgusting, and I'm not going to compromise the polyp extension etc I'm getting in this tank by moving/altering the powerheads...

It'll be done over a period of time, just by removing the sand with every water change, so as to not disrupt too much at one time...

My sister works at the hospital and I get her to "bring" me insuline needles that dose in 1ml max. Lots of zeo products need to dose like .5ml or .6ml so they are great for accurate dosing in small amounts. You could try medical supply stores or even stores for people with diabeties(sp) for the same type.
