I guess if you get the buffered vitamin C (sodium ascorbate powder) you dont have bad PH and alk fluctuations.

I did read and follow it for quite sometime. When it first started I started to use the pill form. Never had problems with PH or Alk but my skimmer did perform really good. However, I have stopped because I never noticed any benefits other than my skimmer.

I bought the granulated form from iherb - unbuffered vit c - been dosing it for a couple of weeks now. My zoos are growing well, so maybe its working...but my skimmer's performance definitely increases when I use it!

I don't dose it but I needed to provide a flake food enriched with it for my bicolor angel to maintain healthy fins.
