Andy has a good point on dosing yourself and waiting on the tank :)

What do you guys think of dosing vitamin C as a carbon source? Possibly as a substitution for your regular carbon every few doses? Sir Patrick asked me about it and I thought I would introduce it into the conversation. It should be noted the one must use buffered Vit C as otherwise it will affect your alk. Beyond that I haven't read a ton on the subject but I have heard it can have great results with "weeds" such as zoas and palys.

Is this method recommended for a zoa/paly tank? I am finally starting to move forward with the cube and curious to try this method if it will be beneficial.
thanks........chuck -

I think most beifits show in SPS tanks, low nitrate Po4 though would keep algae away no matter what.

That is a tough question but anecdotally it has not been bad for my zoanthids. I have them in a tank that is attached to the main system. I am sure that they likely will feed on the bacteria as well.

It makes sense. Like I said I have had no ill effects from it with mine.

MB7 ? why are you suppose to dilute mb7 (amount needed) in tank water (8oz) prior to dumping it in?

Probably just to get it to mix in better. I just dose it straight in with no ill effects.
