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.

I'm pretty much stocked in terms of fish. I want more corals! Stock in the 90 is:
- 1 Kole Tang - 1 Foxface - 1 Copper Banded Butterfly (who I've seen pick at the sponges) - 1 Ember Blenny - 1 Male Mandarin - 1 Sandsifter (Orange Diamond) Goby - 2 Cardinals (one bangaii and one pajama) And before anyone says anything, levels are all where they should be, all fish are eating and there is no agression. The tang, foxface and butterfly seem to be best buds.

I went to MACNA in Atlanta last September and Eric Borneman did a talk about coral nutrition, during his talk he touched on vodka dosing a little. He recommended against it and said it can lead to coral mortality and provide conditions where pathogens can thrive. He went on to saying the ramifications of long term dosing are risky and not fully understood, experienced reefers have had mysterious disease outbreaks that were devastating. Maybe vodka is best left as a drink instead of a quick and easy cure-all.
