Here's a good article on vodka dosing.
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-08/nftt/index.php

After researching this, though, I went the bio pellet route instead. I am using the Vertex Pro-Bio Pellets using a Vertex UF-20 reactor.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

before you start dosing vodka, are your nitrates and phosphates high?

What ever you do, go slowly.

Another approach is to remove all of your fish. :-)

No no you can keep on dosing, just add a tiny bit to your tank every time you dose yourself. 
