NO DAMAGE TO CORALS / FISH and i have a 40gal system.
Thanks for your kind feedback - One reason I didn't use sugar instead was that I thought there was more experience & info out there with vodka - from my thread results so far there doesn't seem to be much out there to help me

I've considered switching to sugar as I am starting to be uncomfortable with the amount of impurities I may be introducing from the vodka -

Maybe I should just give in and do the Prodibio products -- wish i'd spent more time at that booth at MACNA
