Has anyone done coral/inverts only and no fish at first?

How do you guys that don't have fish provide organic carbon to the system?

Would vodka dosing help with this, feed the bacteria with a carbon source? It’ll be a balance, but I’ve ran fishless I just broadcast fed the tank twice a week with the pumps off the same food I feed to fish.

We need a new acronym for this:
IOWLR = Inverts Only with Live Rock

I went inverts and live rock for a long time,,, then fish,,, then corals so not exactly the same but,,, sorta/kinda
