Treating with Vitamin C

[gindobuck]

dang.. i wish i knew that or else i would of told him. to get there was like an hour drive which im not complaining but i really wanted it. he told me to wait at least a month the flower or bowl part of it was seperated but the trunk (the stem) of the two was connected in the middle but you can see two seperate roots going up.

Yup, you can just cut or even rip it off of there. Leathers aren't sensitive about that stuff.

this is going to be pictures of my tank and zoos before i start vit c.

the purple one is started to bleech on the bottom =(

love these devil armors but they stop growing in numbers

blue tubs

neon green toadstool with a new frag i just bought on the left.

i just bought this tickle me pink frag and a unknown really green border zoanthid today.

lets see what vit c will do for me =)

btw i called the guy that is holding the yellow toadstool leather for me. he still insist on not pulling it off =( whatever its his coral until its in my tank =)
im thinking bout putting the yellow toadstool above the frogspawn i just got today. they may touch. im just wondering from your experience is this okay? i heard ppl say that frogspawn wont harm the toadstool but im not sure.

 

[Pufferpunk]

Frogspawn can harm a lot of things but leathers aren't one of them, IME.

i got the vit c really quickly. just got it today.
im going to start dosing 1/8 tsp 2x per day for 5 days
1/4 tsp 2x per day for 5 days
then 1/2 tsp 2x day for every day after that.
ill try to update every 5 days =)

care to elaborate please?

It's called chemical warfare/survival of the fittest. Many corals put out toxic chemicals (like leathers) to weed out some growing room for themselves, others put out stinging sweepers (like frogspawn) to make more room for themselves. Unless you know who stings who, it is difficult to keep a mixed reef. I also run Purigen on my tanks to absorb chemical warfare.

Thank you Puffer punk i owe you , you saved my zoos i had major problem with zoos started my vit c dosing for 2 weeks 95 % is already open

my gonipora's are getting healthy i have spend lot of $ to find perfect food for my goniporas but vit c has quick results i think i should recommend vit c for Lps treads too

 

[Pufferpunk]

I agree, it has done wonders for my LPS, leathers & SPS too.

I think everyone should send me a frag of the zoas I've help save.

 

[sunny1977]

[Pufferpunk]
