It Must be distilled with no flavor. I only use the best for my reef "Absolut Vodka" 80 proof.

minus all the stuff in your tank, you can go with 100 gallons.
Week one .4 ml for 3 days, double dose for last 4 days to .8
Increase .5 ml for every week after that, until the testing of N03 and P04 is down to Zero.
Once it is cut your dose in half and that is your daily dose. can take up to 16 weeks.

Just watch to see if your coral go crazy or fish act funny.

I recommend a good size skimmer when using vodka. Any name brand will work and 80 proof works well.
