grassi Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'm been doing some research on this and was wondering if anyone local has tried it? How much? What kind? So far I'm finding that Kent Marine C is popular.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I've read about it. I think good husbandry would eliminate the need for dosing vitamin c. Its tough for me to put something in my tank when no one really has any idea what it is doing for the corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakkzz Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I know there are two types of reef dosing. One that you feed the fish and the other that you add to the water. Don't know much about either. As far as adding to the water I've seen it but it worried me cause Vit. C is an acid and it can drop the dkh and ph if you are not careful. It was said to slow algae growth, parasite and bacteria infections but I had so few of those vs. the chance of the dkh and ph drops I didn't use it.

impur Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have great success with Furan-2 anytime i think i might have a bacteria and since i dip in RO water with the Furan-2 it takes care of parasites. I'd just like to see definitive info on exactly how Vitamin C helps zoas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It helps because Zoas have a hard time drinking orange juice unless you have a really long straw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I personally believe you don't need any of this 'snake oil' to maintain a successful tank. Just do regular water changes and keep your chemical / mineral levels where they should be and the tank should do great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 if you are a member of RC hit up DFLAD, he is chemist who doses with Vitamin C and others with great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
