Science gone bad!

I've been doing a lot of reading up about carbon dosing in reef tanks and decided to give it a try.

I have have low amount of Nitrates, I believe that the reason why it is low is the fact that I have a lot of pulsing xenias in the tank. These xenias are really a nuisance and I want them gone.
That's why I'm resorting to Vodka Dosing, adding the carbon source to feed to good bacteria that will consume the Nitrates before the Xenias do.

Today is day 3 of the inital amount (4 ml). Tomorrow I have to double the amount of Vodka I add.
So far, I have observed better water clarity and the glass remained cleaner.

I will keep posting progress during the coming weeks, this is to create a record for myself as well as to share my experiences with the rest of the world.
