Additional response......With all of the tank water passing through the floss at a high rate, coupled with low rate dosing of Vodka directly, I beleive that risk is minimal. The filter floss continuely collects excess food and detrius, which contains unprocessed nitrates and phosphate, the risk of becoming phosphate or nitrate limted is greatly reduced. You are right though.....if you dose excess Vodka that could be come an issue.
