Dosed another 1/4 tsp tonight. This stuff REALLY clears up the water! So far so good.

The ph of the calcium ascorbate I dose when lights are off is 7.4
The sodium ascorbate has a ph of 7.1 so I dose it when lights are on.

My birds of paradise has not opened up since I started dosing. All other corals seem fine. Although my red planet isn't opening up as full with extension as before as well. I'm going to wait a few days before dosing again and see if things go back to normal. So far not really excitied about this method.

Right now my zoas are looking colorful and happy vs before i started dosing. The one thing i am noticing is that im getting some white bleaching spots on my Purple Haze Monti. Not sure if that has anything to do with the dosing but its been really healthly ever since i started dosing. Ill try to get pics tonight.

How much are you dosing/how often/and for how long? How big is your tank?

I honestly wouldn't say you need to change anything. I dose before the lights come on in the morning and after the lights turn off at night. Only 1/4 tsp for now, going on day 5

I've been adding my Vit C to the flow in my tank to avoid the overflow box and protein skimmer

To keep away from the carbon and protein skimmer as long as possible, hopefully delaying depletion.

Got in the mail today. Let the dosing begin.
I have a 150g dot with 25g sump. Going to start with 1/4 tsp but how long before I increase to 1/2 tsp?
And then what should be the most I dose?

Start with 1/4 tsp twice a day until day 3-5, depending on how fast you want to progress. I'm doing 1/4 for one more day and then bumping up to 1/2tsp and staying at this dosage. I am dosing to see IF I can get bigger/more full polyps and possibly better coloration. Not to mention it's beneficial to everything in the tank. (Be sure and read up as much as possible, you can never know "enough"...GL with the dosing!
P.S.-Make sure all your levels are at the recommended numbers as stated by Pufferpunk.
