I'm dosing vodka right now on a 29 gallon tank (I'm not in permanent accomodations right now so that's the best I can do!), but I've also previously dosed it on a 90 gallon, a 125 gallon, and a nano (can't remember the volume). Right now I'm using 1 ml a day in the 29 gallon. NO3 0 and PO4 0. No bacterial blooms, no tank crashes, excellent PE, good growth. Right now my 29 gallon is dominated by SPS, but the previous tanks were mixtures of SPS, LPS and softies. No problems either way. Oh, and those puffy things you're seeing are likely q-tip sponges, you'll see a lot more filter-feeder type things in your tank growing out of the live rock when you dose a carbon source, in my experience. I have nothing but good things to say about carbon dosing. I've also used zeo in the past with similar results. It's a good product as well.

One nice thing about trying vodka dosing is I can say to the girlfriend, "but honey I have to make sure it hasn't gone bad" One for the aquarium, a few for me...

hmmmmm..... yeah, maybe that is a bit much.... I haven't had any problems so far but I think I'll cut back before I have a different story to post! I just couldn't remember how much I used to dose when I was dosing it last, it was a while ago!

I did some fancy googling and yep, they are q-tip sponges. I think later today when I do a water change on the tank I'll get rid of as many of I can. I don't care if they are filter feeders, they're fugly.

1mL on a 29?!?!? I'm only dosing 1.3mL on my 90...going by what the thread/article on RC suggested. Herm Maybe I should change that.
Q-tip Sponges....should I be removing them from the base of the corals? They are kind of ugly...
