[Timanator]

Just wondering, would my nitrates be in the negatives?

Hey Tim. If you want your nitrade negative you have to dose Remy Martin Louis the 13 which is 3K a bottle .

someone kicked me down a bit of vitamin C for free. i have been dosing for a week and a half. i like the results. my skimmer keeps going nuts, so i guess there is more export out of tank than previous.
i am almost out, so i guess i have to buy my own vitamin c now. might just get 2!


from what i have been reading, not recommended to do both at same time, but i think someone is trying both

here is a skimmer shot

 

[Timanator]

Yo R-BallJunkie. I think your skimmer stole the colors from your corals.

 

[GAW]

Which vitamin c do you use?

Yo R-BallJunkie. I think your skimmer stole the colors from your corals.

Use this product:
http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails...7697039798&at=0
$5 0ff coupon code: LUL789 (good for first purchase).

To figure out how much to use, decide if you want to simply improve coral growth, spread, and color. If so, then you should dose around 5 ppm twice daily. If you are having problems with coral or fish health, dose up to around 30 ppm twice daily.

Calculate the total net number of gallons in your tank (minus rocks, sand, etc). Enter that number here ______.

You will now need to do a little math. The amounts below are for 100 gallons of water so if you have 50 net gallons, cut the amounts shown below in half etc.

Dosing amounts using Iherb product:
1/4 tsp=1112 mg.

For every 100 gallons:

5 ppm ----- 1892 mg VC
10 ppm ---- 3785 mg VC
15 ppm ---- 5677 mg VC
20 ppm ---- 7570 mg VC
25 ppm ---- 9462 mg VC
30 ppm ---- 11355 mg VC

After you have figured out how much you want to dose at each dosing, enter that number here _____. This is your dose to be used twice a day.



Notes:
*Be sure your pH and alk are within normal reef limits before starting. Adjust if needed. Monitor weekly.
*Shoot for a ppm of around 5 if only dosing for improved coral growth, coloration, and spread. Shoot for higher amounts up to 30 ppm if you are having melting zoas or closed zoas and look for the causes of your problems as you dose. Check for high nitrates, pests, zoa pox, predators, and unstable water conditions.
*Dose low amounts and increase the amount slowly over the course of a few days to a couple weeks.
* If you notice an algae bloom or increased skim on your glass then cut back by half until it disappears.
* Watch your skimmer, it will start to skim more.
* Dose the amount twice a day in a fast moving area of your sump or overflow. You may dilute the vitamin c in ro/di water for a minute then pour into my overflow. If adding to sump, try and add the vitamin c after filtration such as skimmers and reactors.
* If you have a question, ask here. I checks this thread daily.
* The instructions in this guide and throughout this thread are based on using pure Sodium Ascorbate, not vitamin c pills and other non-buffered forms of vitamin c.

[slyfox]

yeah, you want a buffered one so it doesnt kick your pH...the one rball linked too is perfect

i actually like glassbox designs vinegar, sucrose, vodka recipe...

 

[Guest]

I still use VitC in my macro tank....

Also been using it in my FW cichlid tank too and have noticed slight increase in coloration and health in my fish.

 

[Timanator]

Well I woke up on the living room floor this morning, I dont think any of the stuff ever made it in to the tank.

 

[Guest]

Hahahahaha!

 

[MarkieB]

Well in your original question you never mentioned dosing the tank

 

[txfatcat]

DH if your going to dose Remy then use Black Pearl
