I never had any luck with vodka dosing - all I managed was to brown out my Acros. Ever considered biopellets?

No, I prefer not adding any more gear. I could, I have a reactor, but will try with the vodka first

Sounds like you already are trying...and it sucks!

I put vinegar in the kalkwasser, but that's about as crazy as my VSV dosing gets.

Well, my dosing manually might have been a bit hit and miss, so hoping to get my doser on line today and run for a month and re-evaluate.
