Vodka dosing

[Reefcube]

So I have decided to give it a try. How much should I start out dosing per day and amount on a 60 gallon cube. Will my skimmer go crazy? What should I look for? Bad idea or good?

Should give you a starting point.

Skimmer would be affected.
Any carbon dosing can cause some cyanobacteria to take off. If you see it pop up, back off dosing.

Have you personally done this? Did you check water chemistry first?

Yes Ive vodka/carbon dosed before.

Watching my nitrates climb over a month, testing. Dosed vodka to reduce it for three months. Didn't really work for me.

Yes of course you need to know what your N03 is for sure before you do any dosing.

What was the highest mL/gallon you dosed before quitting?
