I don't think so since dosing vitamin C is a form of carbon dosing and it does create a biofilm on things like pumps and glasses (I think I was dosing too much!), so it does help some bacterias to multiply. I don't know what it is about vitamin C that help them. Dosing vitamin C require a good skimming.
Instead of having algae on my glass now I have this gray/white film and it's greasy. It build up so that I have to clean it about every other day but my zoanthids are doing much better.
Another thing is each time I dip my zoanthids in peroxyde, there are dozen of small bristle worms coming from the frag. I am guessing that those small baby worms are anoying the zoanthids. All those ichy detaching bristles can't be good. You can try dipping some of your affected zoanthids in peroxyde and see what come out. They usually perk up after such dip.
