If I buy good vodka I end up getting the better half of the bottle.
I buy The most disgusting, cheapest, nastiest vodka like popov or similar label. I have been dosing for about 8 months off and on but for the past 2 months every day 3-5ml if I go to 5ml I sometimes get strings on the glass. I keep it at 4ml per day and that's about right.
Reefkeeping magazine, has a good table about dosing vodka and literature on the subject matter.
GL, but only dose something you can keep up with.

I dose vodka- did the 'ramp-up' the first time I tried it, stopped after awhile (ran out of vodka and was broke,) but when I restarted it (after a good 8 week gap) I didn't do a ramp up, I went straight to 5 mL in my 30 gallon tanks. Only issue I've had is overstripping the water and have lost color in a couple of my SPS colonies- weirdly my LPS's and Zoa's have never looked happier (though that I attribute to the rise in magnesium levels which is a separate thing.)

i do 6 ml daily in my 80 gallon and the tank looks awesome. I tried the bio-pellets, but they caused issues, so went back to vodka. I may add the vinegar and sugar in the future, but no need right now. Since going back to vodka, my skimmer has kicked it up a notch, went from needing to empty it once a week to every 2 days.
