Ethanol/ Vodka Dosing Potentially Harming LPS Coral

[brayden2980]

Hello, I have been using 2ml daily of %95.5 ethanol in a 450 gallon set up. When introducing this dosage into the return pump in the sump, within ten minutes my elegance coral shriveled up and took a week to return to normalcy my fox coral also was possibly disturbed from this too as he receded when dosing as well. Is this a common problem? Water parameters are stable and haven't been an issue.

For what reason are you dosing this? What is your problem that you're trying to solve?

You state that all parameters are stable? You're trying to change (i assume lower nitrate/phosphate) something; give us a bit of history
