Okay on my way over...you better have a big enuff bottle of vodka lol!
What do you guys use to measure the vodka?
How much vodka should I be using for my 72 gallon tank ???...Im sooo not good with understanding the whole article
Jumping on the Vodka dosing as well. I have not measured my trates of phos yet, but did buy the cheapest bottle I could find. I'll be dosing the recommended amounts in about a week once my water changes have been completed since I don't want another Hair algae breakout. I just redid my rocks and am waiting for the water to settle. Will be contributing to this thread- as soon as I get results (actually was thinking of posting a daily vodka dosing blog separately- what do you guys think? with lots and lots of pics)
This is interesting stuff…being a chemist and trying to figure out the chemistry going on here.
However, the one image I can’t seem to get out of my feeble little mind, is how did they stumble upon this idea. Who would ever think about this….”Hey Jim, I think I’ll try putting some vodka in my mutli-thousand dollar tank and see what happens.”
Here’s what I envision. You come home from work after a hard day wondering what you are going to do about the high NO3 and PO4. So the first thing you do is make a martini and start working on the tank. We can all see what’s going to happen…the martini, resting on the light fixture, goes over into the tank. What do you do now? Well, the first thing is to make another martini. And of course, the rest is history.
Serendipity is the mother of invention.
