Alot of these people claiming get new friends are pretty ridiculous...

You don't want to spend an entire party guarding your tank.

I had my tanks all through college and had 2 occasions of alcohol being dropped into the tank before I caught on. Covering the tank seemed to perk the curiousity of every drunk person in the room. And I had no ill effects from the alcohol being in the tank for a few hours as the empty glasses/cans were discovered after the parties. so it was in the tank for several hours. just did a near 90% water change after, pretty sure the water change stressed my fish more than the alcohol.

I ended up just turning the lights of the tanks out and lining heavy candles and other pain in the butt things to move on the canopies. Worked for the remaining years of school.

actualy alcohol is a sterilizer if anything it would trash your biofilter.


that being said it does biodegrade after a while and unless you pour more than like several gallons of beer into the tank it won't do sh*t to your fish or biological filtration.

actually some bacteria can use your the alcohol in small quantities, which it will be since the dilution of several gallons.

My dad doses vodka in his saltwater to reduce nitrates, at one time he was dosing 2/3's of a shot a day(90 gallon tank).
 
:lol3: I need that sign above my tank, except it needs to say "Tampering with my fish tank WILL result in an ass whoopin' you'll never forget!"
