Vitamin C

I just bought and used Kent Marine Vitamin C solution. The bottle says to use 20 drops per day. That seems very high to me. Has anyone used this supplement before? Any suggestions as to how much I should use per day or per week?
 
I have to check the Mg/drop when I get home. Im using it to promote growth of my zoos and for overall increased immunity of the fish in the tank.

I have a 65g reef tank. I posted a blog earlier this week saying that I had aquired some zoos that seem to be pretty stressed out. They have been in my tank for about 3 days now and still arent opening. I thought a some consistent dosing of VC would help them open up.

Below is a link with info on the product I bought:

I am familiar with that product but am not sure of what dosage it offers. I mentioned in your other post that the amounts we are dosing for improved zoas & melting zoas are mega, compared with what that product probably offers. For example, on my 100g system, I'm adding a dosage of 23ppm, to prevnt my zoas from melting in there. That's ~9500mg, 2x/day. 2 tsp of pure, buffered VC crystals.
 
Puffer,
you say you are dosing 23ppm in your 100 ~9500mg, 2x/day
Is that 2x 9500 which would really be more like 46ppm?
OR
half the 9500mg in the am and the other half in the PM?
 
Ok, so I have done a little reading and if I understand it correctly after 8 hours the VC is chemically broken down.
So by dosing as you do 9500mg in the am and then again 9500mg in the pm still gives a level of (in your case) 23ppm.
Is this correct?

TIA
