I never dose what i don't test for; seems like it's just asking for something to go wrong. long story short, i think this is the same kind of BS as blind iodine dosing.

Personally I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't tried everything else, but thought I would try as a last resort and it worked. Since all my zoa's opened up I haven't used it again. (that was about two months ago) I used lower doses then they suggested on that thread as I was a bit freaked out about it. Not sure I would recommend people doing it for no reason though, or for long term.

I have used it to treat my frag and display tanks (mostly zoos) a few times over the last year without any side effects and it works for the brown fungus....Soon as the zoos get better I stop and continue carbon. I use Ascorbic Acid from the health food store 1000mg gel caps, half a cap twice a day. That was about 30 gallons of water.
