Buffered vitamin C is nothing but a carbon source. Its a pure carbon source and you have to start on very low doses. It acts in the same way as vodka would do.
If your zoas are melting and dying there might be other issues that you need to fix. Vit C is not a fix.
I would not recommend going that route.
If you have more questions let me know and I can help you out.
I agree that VC is just another carbon source, but-
Possibly a less efficiant carbon source- Compared to carbon, sugar, vinager, ect. May perhaps be the reason polyps respond a bit better. I am thinking that it might not have as harsh an impact on the water parameters as many other carbon sources, and possibly works a bit better for the higher (but not too high) nutrient loving corals.
Normally I use bio fuel, but change things up at times with the brightwells VC, along with MB7. I think if you are going to VC dose, you may as well combine it with MB7, seeing its a carbon source.
I braught it up in the never ending RC thread (as others have) but the idea seems to get avoided every time....
