The only downside to this method of dosing vodka that I can see initially is that you can't do the "one shot for the tank, one shot for me, one shot for the tank, one shot for me" method.

Interesting concept......
Can I just drop them into my orange juice? Or add to Milk of Magnesia? ( to make a "Phillips Screwdriver")  Sorry - could not help it..............  I am just an old Aggie that wound up on the East Coast, and god how I miss Giddings sausage, and REAL Bar B Que!!!! Tagging along as well! T

Lol yes that is a downside, but i'm curious to know what you guys think, because of my work hours I never know when i'm going to be home I feel like this could be a great continual application method

Initially, my thoughts are that it could be a great method that would be similar to using carbon or GFO, but I do not currently dose (since my tank is not up and running yet). I would want to hear from reefers who do dose and what the potential upside and downsides would be. I especially want to hear from people who have used the product.
