Vitamin C dosing for zoanthids (I am clueless)

[Softylover]

I also wanted to know if dosing vitamin C will reduce the amount of nitrates and phosphates in the water?

Best thing for that is gfo

Can I run bio pellets and vitamin c dosing at the same time?

Don't see why not, bio pellets don't effect vitamin c

Big plans coming for the tank within the next week

All: how big is your tank and how much are you dosing?

I haven't started dosing yet but will be soon because of all the positive factors it's a 45 gallon with all LPS and zoas

Been dosing for about a month now.

I have been dosing 1/4 teaspoon in a RSM130D

I spent an hour reading through all the posts tonight on the subject of VC dosing. It seems intriguing to me but Im confused on how much i should start dosing and what dosage i should build up to for a 24gal tank. I have a colony of zoas and some mushrooms. I also want to make sure that the VC won't be harmful to my peppermint shrimp, skunk cleaner shrimp, or my emerald crab.

thanks in advance for your input!

Sorry picked up the rock a couple of days before the June 29th pic and have been dosing since.
You can really see the growth on the orange guys on the bottom right

I have both a blood shrimp, a cleaner shrimp as well as half a dozen sexy shrimp.
No problems with them whatsoever

Can any body tell me how much to dose to a 45g reef tank all LPS

I would start with 1/4 tsp for 5-7 days. After that, it really depends on why you are dosing.

I'm actually dosing because I have a horrible nitrate issue that I can't resolve no matter what I do and mostly because 75% of my tank is zoas and I want to see if they're really is a benefit to dosing

It's not going to remove nitrates...Z/P growth it will definitely help with!
