vitamin C

[albinosage]

hi sis ming, mind telling me where to get and how much?

i'm dosing magnesium ascorbate powder now... concentration according to the nutrition table is lower... 1 teaspoon only 2135mg... got algae boom now but might be because of my heavy feeding...

just up from 5ppm to 10ppm yesterday... all my zoas their skirting like extending shorter? dunno. maybe its just me... will observe a few more days.

am trying to cure a colony of zoas that has shrunken after the tank shifting... have another colony of zoa from hk that is always not fully open too. trying to see if vit c will help..

Hi Mark, the product is the one in the first post:

I ordered a small bulk from iherb to maximise the savings and shared with some bros here

I didn't expect any immediate results so I didn't take pics, but the "before" state of the zoa was not much better than the pic I posted, not an exaggeration, cos I didn't change water or tinkle with the tank at all besides moving that piece of zoa further back cos a snail pushed him around. The main difference I noticed was not the better colours, but the skirts around the polyps were opening up symmetrically in a perfect circle, previously, they were all lopped sided and of irregular shapes.

I don't know how to explain, but basically a couple hours after dosing, they all closed up 100% as if lights were off, then one by one over a few hours, they opened slightly to vomit small blobs of black goo, before blooming 100% again with better colours. I can't say it was the vitamin c for sure, it could be a perfect coincidence resulting from something else, but my finger is pointed at the most obvious "culprit".

I hope this means I will have better luck with zoas from now on

]they close n open to simulate metabolism.. n digesting..

err.. but if close liao nv open then mati liao lolx.

Who? Me?? I only use up 1/2 teaspoon nia! Don't saboh me leh, later everyone bomb my PM hahahaha.

I think there is 15% discount for orders above a certain amount, and 50% off shipping for orders above USD$200 or something like that. I don't mind ordering in future if there is enough interest, but it is the collection that's the problem.

so good, one teaspoon is 5.2g contain 4448mg of vit c.

one bottle is 454g. If I dose one teaspoon everyday, then it can last 80+ days.

Am I right? Tempting.....

[pokmingsheng]

intially thought the vitamin C to boost the colour of corals were some specially formulated ones...

after reading the posts, realised that its those daily vitamin Cs that all of us consume! haha...

would like to hear more advice on vitamin C dosing before I try it..

any success stories?

i wanna improve the colour of my zoos...

i have also started dosing Vit C daily now for my angel fish tank. This supplement will help to boost up the overall health of your fish and corals just like what vit C do to human being ..
