Thank a lot Steve. Your post helped me out. as far as vodka dosing goes how should I go about doing this. I have seen many people talking about it but have never read about how to do it

I personally like bio-pellets way better than vodka dosing.

When I did it I did one small cap, polar ice cap, every 2 days in a 150gal+50sump. That was too fast of a start. Its like a anti nitrate bomb, so shocks the system. after about a month I got up to a cap a day, but that was even a little heavy, so once everything was balanced I was at about half a cap a day(more like a cap every other day, I'm terrible at schedules). Every thing seemed happy, so I stopped and let my added bio balls pick up the slack. I'm thinking of starting again though, everything seemed happy.

I did this with a tfl150 of bio balls. Upgraded to the big reactor with more balls at the end. Thats why I stopped

Here's a good article on vodka dosing.

After researching this, though, I went the bio pellet route instead. I am using the Vertex Pro-Bio Pellets using a Vertex UF-20 reactor.

No no you can keep on dosing, just add a tiny bit to your tank every time you dose yourself. 
