If I remember, vodka tends to be more potent so vinegar allows you better fine tune and works better for smaller tank volumes. There are some reports that vodka dosing may increase cyano...

Pellets work great. I am gone 3wks at a time and they really helped my tank. And I notice when the reactor starts to get low as the glass gets more algae on it sooner

I dose vinegar by day because it drops pH but it doesn't promote cyano and vodka at night to prevent mono culture bacteria.
I gave up on the pellets, the dosing works great, just go slow. vodka is about 8x more potent than vinegar.

I used algafix marine to remove my hair algae, did not hurt anything in tank,
got 90 % of hair and I removed the rest by hand and to my delight it eradicated ALL of my bubble algae and it was a lot. I got the hair algae while running pellets.

Many people here run VSV (Vodka, Sucrose, Vinegar) along with bacteria dosing to get an ultra low nutrient system.
Here is a good article. http://glassbox-design.com/2008/achi...perimentation/ Be sure to start slowly with any dosing and adjust it based off of your tanks reaction & bioload.
