Vodka Dosing

[MarineFishGuy]

So I have een dosing my 450g about 16ml per day for the last 6 months (two 8ml doses per day).
Although in the last 1 month I have been dosing about 8-10ml per day.
I noticed some of the bryopsis has been growing in our 75g.
A very small amount, but I had not seen it for months.

I plan to ramp the dose back up to 15ml, I had not noticed any downside to this volume of vodka for my volume of water.

Has anyone had any issues with dosing vodka at this level?

Wow posted on the 20th and noone knows?
Or are you one of them there Pariahs that momma and the nuns at school always warned us about???
You need to get that Big P tattoo removed from your forehead, bet that will help.

Where was I or rather where should I be???

Oh yeah.

Before you go toying with the Vodka input level.

What are your phosphate levels?
What are your nitrate levels?

And in particular, what is your Mg level? If it's not around 1500 you will have trouble getting rid of the Bryopsis. Like certain strains of Hair Algae it can subsist in some ULNS's. I think you have to make sure your stront levels/addition if you're adding is not too high or you'll have trouble getting a good Mg reading if you are using salifert.

If all other algaes are in check and colors are good I'd work on Mg levels before I changed the vodka dosage.
