Just a few questions.. (Geesh srry, ok, quite a few questions...)

What was happening to your skimmer when you dosed?  Did skimtimate production increase?
my skimmer acted normal.


Did you notice any change with your corals/livestock? 
nope everything was happy. actually i got better groth on my zoos because the cyna was off of them

Did you see any of the reported algae blooms that Vodka dosing can cause?
i noticed some green algae turned white but now i have so much new coraline growth everywhere


Did you ramp-up the dose or start with the full 2ml?
I started full 2ml some days i double dosed because i like things to happen quick lol. im impatient, i don't recomend doing that


How long ago did you do the dosing? 
two weeks ago, dosed one week now ive been of dosing for a week

Has the Cyano returned at all since?
nope all died, so far knock on wood

Red Slime remover will affect your PH and send your tank into a small cycle, But it works

exact its says it can lower your ph, but in my small biocube it moved at all
lets see now how long it wil lstay clean hehe
