Bringing Back Zoa Colours?

[Ryan]

I dont have a sump so I never used the reactor. I dont use the whole system but am dosing a few more chemicals now that I got a good deal on.

Yes I did have Rics in there and they did awesome, also got more bold colors. I had to take them out though because I went SPS and they didnt like the large amount of flow my Sure flow kits put out.

Also my LFS started dosing vodka to their coral tanks and I noticed a big difference in water clarity and colors in all their corals including their zoanthids.

Thanks. I will look into both methods. Vodka dosing would certainly be a lot cheaper.

Yup I am not sure about the differences but I like the ZEOvit so I havent changed. I was thinking once the BAK runs out I might start the vodka but need to do some research on what the vodka replaces in the ZEOvit system.

I started doing vitamin C dosing this week at low levels. Too soon to notice anything yet except for increased skimmate production.

I dose exactly the same bulk health food ascorbic acid as recommended in this thread:

With my size tank getting up to the recommended 5ppm level would require 1/2 teaspoon of that particular vitamin C powder twice a day but I've been carefully ramping up from 1/8 tsp to 1/4 tsp once per day over the last week. I'll get to the recommended dosage in another week or so. I'll start a thread then to report results.

Where did you find the appropriate vitamin C?

Once you have something to report maybe you can start a new thread? I would like to see where this goes.
