I eventually worked up to 2.1 mL per day vodka and 1 mL MB7. I stayed at that level for about 4 weeks. In this time, the improvements first noted with the vodka faded away, and I was back at square one. However, the vodka dosing completely and thoroughly browned out all my SPS corals. I also lost 3 large frags (mini colonies) to RTN in this time. The only cases of RTN I've seen in this tank.

I ditched out on the vodka and MB7 at the beginning of May, and switched to weekly siphon removal of cyano. I got 100x better results doing this than anything else I've tried. It actually takes quite some time for it to grow back.

Second week of May I dosed Prodibio BioDigest and Bioptim which I have had great success in the past for color improvement (doesn't seem to do anything for cyano or algae). I have since dosed Prodibio a second time, and am almost due for a third dosing. This has greatly improved coloring of SPS and polyp extension. I love Prodibio and have found it to be quite beneficial on three occasions now. My LPS tank likes Prodibio too, but the improvement is more noted in the SPS corals. Good product.
