How much Vodka?

[rupatel]

Just want to see how much people are dosing to make sure I'm in the ball park with others. I have a 120gal and dose 9ml per day of 80 proof.

I usually slow down when I start flirting with ugly girls. I stop after I fall the second time. Not sure how many ml that is. Pretty close to the whole bottle

I've hit just enough when I realize that 6 marines from NPS are standing at my table itching to kick my butt.

I dose 5ml a day on my 58 gallon, but I feed alot...
Have you read this: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-08/nftt/index.php ?

It really depends on your bioload. You should be testing for Nitrates since you started. Once those drop off you should know your daily dosing level. Are you adding any new livestock? That could affect how much you dose as well. Don't go on autopilot while dosing vodka it can have some bad consequences.

On my 115g + 40 gallon sump, I was only dosing 5 ml and had 0 nitrates and phosphates.

Marco is spot on in regard to "auto pilot".
I messed up not testing and dosing the same amount daily and caused a cyano bloom....bad move.
Just keep testing to find a sweet spot balance with your bioload and vodka dosing.
