In their aquarium, not their mouth :). I have been thinking about trying it my tank is 5 months old and all the algae issues seem to have been solved or cleared up except now I'm getting big Cyano blooms.

I'm running GFO, have a refugium with Cheato and the flow on my sand seem to be good since the sand rolls around (plus my blenny is doing a great job moving sand :( ). Thinking of doing Vodka dosing, three days with no lights seems to be a temp solution and actully the worse it looks is at lights on and not to bad when they go off.

Any suggestions or precautions when doing the vodka dosing?
 
are you sure of the quality of your RO water? if your ro needs changed or if they're not keeping up on filters where you get your water from.....
 
I've been doing it for about a year now. It helped me get my nitrates/phospates to undetectable levels. Prior to dosing I was having alot of algea problems/brown corals. Since dosing things have been good. Colors came alive also.
 
I'm still getting 0 TDS with about 1 yr 4 mos on my resin. I have 2 brown acros with colorfull tips, but by monti's,and other acros are colorfull.
Do you guys have issues with the white slime?
 
I started two weeks ago and my skimmer is pulling like crazy, I think the algae is fading away. you should check your nitrates and if they are high I would try the vodka.
