new to saltwater

anyone tried the vodka method, for nitrates..... well it's works i went from 80... to maybe 10 with a waterchange but i did the medthod about 2 weeks before the waterchange

I have a friend that is currently doing this in his 125G tank. He has been doing it for about a month now, and I seems to be working great! He says that is works in place of active charcoal. I'm a believer!!!
 
So do you literally just dump vodka into the sump? A measured amount of course. Im also assuming you want to use something with a high alcohol content like Everclear or Absolut? Fill me in on this, I have a lot of vodka.
 
I personally think this is a terrible method to deal with nitrates, but if you do decided to do this, make sure you research, research, research. This method is probably one of the easiest methods of crashing a tank I know of.
