I would take some before/after pics otherwise you will never be able to tell if there is much of an improvement. Post them so we can see!]]> Sun, 27 Feb 2011 21:04:12 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=402538&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#402538 <![CDATA[Anbody dosing vit c? : Well I started to dose a few days...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=402501&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#402501 Author: wickedsnowman

Well I started to dose a few days ago. No real improvements yet. I will update in a while and let everyone know how it is going.]]> Sun, 27 Feb 2011 13:51:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=402501&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#402501 <![CDATA[Anbody dosing vit c? : badger126 wrote:Hey thanks!...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=402351&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#402351 Author: bfessler

Fuel does have Iodine but it is in so small a trace that it probably doesn't do much. It also lists Copper as one of the trace elements but again in a very minute amount so just because it's on the label doesn't mean it is in the right form or that it even helps. 

Also as I understand it only Iodide is beneficial to corals which is why I dose Vibrance in addition to Fuel. I agree that if your dosing Fuel you probably don't need to dose Vit C as well. I tried it and didn't see any real change or improvement.

Out of all those I would use fuel, its vitamin,fatty acids, amino acids..... in fact on vitamarinC (I have a bottle) it says if dosing with fuel(not fuel, but the name slips me) use X amount instead of full amount]]> Sat, 26 Feb 2011 13:28:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=402327&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#402327 <![CDATA[Anbody dosing vit c? : Snowman, I have been reading...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=402311&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#402311 Author: Piscavore1

Snowman,
 
I have been reading the same thread and almost ordered several times. Since you ordered I presume you will give it a try. Please post your results so I can quit wondering what I should use - fuel, brightwell Vitamarin c, or the straight vitamin c and actually do something!

I have been doing frequent water changes lately I used to wait like 6 weeks but I have been doing one like every 2 now. I dont use fuel but I do use coral frenzy. Maybe I will have to look into getting some of that.
Ps I have seen pics of your zoos and they are pretty damn sweet!]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:24:53 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=401990&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#401990 <![CDATA[Anbody dosing vit c? : I dosed vit c for a few months...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=401946&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#401946 Author: badger126

I dosed vit c for a few months according to puffer's recommendation- I didn't see any improvement at all and I saw no difference when I stopped using it. I went through the whole bottle before I stopped. If you've seen my tank I have a whole mess of zoas and I'm of the opinion that dosing vit c = no significant change. I've noticed more change in my tank using aquavitro fuel than anything. That and regular water changes seem to be the key to zoa growth for me.

There are Iodine/iodide test kits. If you're going to dose AquaVitro Vibrance the Salifert test kit will give a false positive. Use the SeaChem Iodine test kit. ]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 08:43:08 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47020&PID=401737&title=anbody-dosing-vit-c#401737
