I don't think there would be any negative effect from discontinuing dosing. I just don't want to lose all the great benefits I have been getting, so I don't plan on stopping. I just got back from a week's vacation (someone else was dosing for me daily) & I can't believe the growth I see in the week I've been gone!
The skimmer doesn NOT remove VC. Only carbon, Purigen & the likes, can. It is difficult for me to explain the increase in skimmate but it is explained in the RC thread. I lowered the output tube on my ASM G-2 & I'm getting tons of bubbles in the cup, with nice, dark skimmate. Before this, I was getting ready to do a mesh mod--not anymore!
I have concerns about the people who are slowly dripping the VC. I do not believe you are getting the dosage up to where it needs to be for any kind of positive treatment. Are you noticing any results from doing it this way? If I usually dose 1tsp (around 4500mg) of VC all at once, to get a ppm of around 12, how can you be sure your ppm has built up to that point by dosing so slowly?
