Vodka dosing is just one form of adding carbon to your tank. Vinegar and sugar are also other ways to do it. By adding carbon, you are promoting the growth of bacteria that will consume nitrates and phosphates. Not sure about helping corals grow, but eliminating both of those from your system will help keep algae at bay.

not running carbon now so this sounds like something I might be interested in. I have a 34gal rsm so how much and how often.
