Observation

I've noticed, since i've been dosing vitamin c, that my pulsating xenia tree has been dividing like crazy...has anyone else experienced the same thing happening?

I've been dosing for about a month now. My findings are odd. The main reason I started dosing was for the benefit of my zoos. I can't explain it, but most of them were multiplying like crazy, but then reached a point where they either stopped, or started disappearing. Not "all" of the varieties, just some of them.

I haven't noticed that much of a benefit yet the zoos I was having trouble with yet, but my SPS has taken off growth wise like crazy. I've always had a problem with cotton candy algae, and have also recently noitced it starting to pale considerably from it's nowmal dark red color.

My skimming has also improved greatly. I run a G-4 for about 160 gallons syatem, and the skimming has always been pretty mild. I know the skimmer I have is over kill so I never worried about it's performance too much. Since dosing the C however, I'm getting an increasing rate of dark skimming production.

There are definite improvements do to the C. I just wish they would have a more positive effect for the reason I originally intended.

I did the vitamin C also to my tank for about a month now. I am still getting some death in my zoas, have yet to see any benefits to any of my zoos doing this treatment. I too have notice my sps growing, but I don't think it is because of adding Vit-C. I will keep it up until I run out of the first bottle of Vit-C, but will not order again if I don't see a significant change.
