Hi Nitty Gritty

I have the Brightwell Aquatics Vit C and have been using that one day per week, over the last 4 or 5 weeks

I dont have any Zoanthids so I cannot coment personally on any color improvements for that species as a result of Vit C dosing, but from my research on the www, I am aware that many people have reported experiences of improved colors for Zoanthids as a result of Vit C dosing

my reason for including Vit C in my additions range on my reef tank where simply as I also found from research that it was beneficial for tissue recovery in SPS corals and as i had taken 6 frags of a wild acro colony, I wanted to use the Vit C in combination with Restor (another Brightwell product with aminos) in order to facilitate recovery for the fragged mother colony and to help the frags heal quickly on the frag plugs

how effective it was, is hard to asses ( no control in the experiment- as in no frags in non vit C and Restor combo fed water to compare with these 6 frags)
I do know that after 2 or 3 weeks, I posted pictures of said frags encrusting over plugs
and 2 people commented that they had shown great signs of growth in that short period
