I wouldnt use the tablets....most will contain fillers, colors, and other crap the neither your zoas or the rest of your tank need......IF you wanna start dosing Vc.....go to a pharmacist and ask for ascorbic acid.....google the dosing amounts

Weren't you the guy who used black sand, that was sticking to a magnet? Maybe all your problems and not carbon related? Anyways, if it were me, and my tank was newish and small, and everything was dying anyways...and my sand was magnetic..

I would take the tank apart, throw that sand away and basically do a 100% water change. Just sayin

its not the sand, several people I have talked to have the same sand. no problems for years. I added kent carbon and calcium on friday, then saturday morning everything was bonkers. I'm steering towards that being the problem
