Wow, looks great--so why are you dosing w/C now?
I'm certainly glad you decided to take a look-see & not tear it down. It makes me not want to frag my zoas for a very long time... Last edited by Pufferpunk; 12/20/2007 at 12:22 AM. |

Puffer I have been dosing C for the same reason you and I take it everyday. As I stated in your thread everything was more than healthy when I started but I thought it might help with their immune system/health. I have seen no negative and only positive with the dosing. I think your idea on dosing was one of the best threads to come across this forum since the FW dip thread. It might have been out of the box thinking but not all of us do not live in a square. Kudos to you! and let them grow out! TIA

You should see all the herbs I take! Maybe there is another sticky in our future?
 Are you noticing a big difference? What do you think of my adding the C after where my Purigen is in my sump, so I can still use it?

That's got to be a one of a kind tank.I am very impressed with what you have done.As far as the vitamin C Ive never added any.I do add Echinacea to my reef mush.I wonder if it has the same effects as the vitamin C.

REALLY YOU MUST!!!!!!!!!! start a new thread. E Borneman also adds echinacea to his food. How much do you dose? I am also debating on adding the B vitamins as well. Thanks for your kind comments! Please start a new thread as everyone would like to know.

When I was looking for something to add to my tank that contained colonies that were disappearing, I considered echinacea. Mine comes in capsules & they would really be a PITA to open each one for dosing (I assumed the gelatin covering might not be the best thing for my tank). I decided to go with the C instead.

The last batch of food we made I added 15 capsules.We made about 17 quart sized bags of food.Now theses bags we not full of course.There was enough food in there in order to make the bags flat so we could freeze them.I did go for a period of time when I stopped adding the echinacea and did have some problems with my zoas that I had never had before.I strongly believe the echinacea is a must have in your food mix IMO.

So I wonder if I just added 1 capsule to a day's feeding (I feed corals 2x/week), if that would be enough/too much? I don't think you can overdose on echinacea. If I'm sick I take 3 capsules, 3x/day. Otherwise, during the winter months, I take 2 capsules, 2x/day.

Not daily, 2x/week, if that--about every 4 days. Zoas don't really even eat, do they? I feed each paly polyp individually though.
I feed mostly Rod's Food. I'll have to ask him if he puts echinacea in there. I know he uses tons of Selcon. |

Geo- Nice tank. Big clams make a good centerpiece in heavily stocked tanks. They help everything to not mush together so much. My friend has a huge Derasa in a 50 gallon rubbermaid tub and it looks really nice. You are talking about dosing all of these vitamins; are you aware that SC Reef Plus has all of these in it? Though maybe not in the quantities you want. I would guess that it is sufficient for most applications. Also, does anyone know why they have copper in there (even though it is one-onethousandth of a milligram)? Are the leathers in your tank Palau Nepthas?
