Carbon dosing

[memphis1]

I just started building a 90 gallon reef. Was wondering when I can start dosing vodka. Would like to carbon dose before I get nitrate problems or ph problem

I wouldnt dose until your tank is more mature. I'd let the natural cycle do its thing and maybe start around the 6 month mark if you have the bioload necessary to warrant dosing.
Also why vodka? There are way cheaper sources of carbon dosing, like sugar or vinegar.

My other tank had good success with vodka dosing. Maybe I'll wait. I was just trying to get head start. Ty

Everything I've read said it's not recommended for tanks under 6 months.
