Started dosing Vodka on Jan 27th, here is the follow-up story of dosage:
Jan 27th - Jan 28th: 0.2ml
Jan 29th - Jan 30th: 0.4ml
Jan 31th - Feb 4th: 0.6ml
Feb 5th: 0.8ml
Feb 6th: 0.6ml late at night (forgot the morning dose)
Feb 7th: 0.8ml
Feb 8th - Feb 9th: 1.0ml
Interruption due to travel, during which I left the Eheim auto-feeder on with two feedings of small pellet food per day. When we came back I had the impression the green hair algae and maiden's hair algae had grown.... quite a lot in fact. Too much food I guess.
Feb 17th: 0.2ml at night
Feb 18th: 0.4ml
Feb 19th: 0.6ml
Feb 20th: 0.4ml in the afternoon (forgot the morning dose)
Feb 21st: 0.4ml
Feb 22nd: 0.5ml
Feb 23rd: 0.6ml
Feb 24th: 0.7ml
Feb 25th: 0.4ml at night (forgot the morn...)
On that day (25th) I also removed a lot of green hair algae and maiden's hair algae by hand at night, in an attempt to remove nutrients that will gradually return to the water when the algae decomposes in the aquarium if left to die.
Feb 26th: 0.7ml
Feb 27th - Mar 1st (today): 1.0ml
So far, so good, no progress with Nitrate or Phosphate reduction yet, but it is still very early. Measurements were:
Feb 7th, NO3=5ppm
Feb 17th, NO3=5ppm, PO4=0.1ppm
Feb 26th, NO3=5ppm, PO4=0.1ppm
