Not only does vodka promote the growth of good nitrate eating bacteria it promotes the growth of a kind of bacteria that coats and kills coral.Its all in those articles I posted,have a look. Maybe you will change your mind about using it.

Actually I would broaden that statement.I am against Aquarium practices in general when they have no basis in scientific fact.For every problem that developes in a reef tank,or any kind of tank for that matter there is a reasonable explanation,and a cure based on good science and reasonable practice's.

To a man every pundit and marine bioligist who has ever wriiten an article about the reef hobby has espoused what I consider one of the cardinal rules of reefing."If you cant test for it,dont put it in your tank".Simply stated,unknown levels of any aditive present a clear danger to your reef inhabitants.I would suggest that if you have something like high nitrates finding the actual reason for them and correcting that problem is a far better plan than adding something to your tank that so obviously does not belong there.
