Just ordered some vitamin C for the farm; to be more specific our Zoa grow out tank. Kinda a newer thing to dose vitamin C. Looking to see if anyone has any experience dosing this into large systems for long periods of times? Is it worth it? Do zoas really color up better and grow faster?

It was trendy years ago, but not many folks dose it now and I’m not convinced it has any benefit over dosing other organics such as vinegar or vodka.

It will chemically change the form of some trace elements and thereby reduce ORP. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, just something to note.
