Ya, I heard that 2 but thought it would be safer and simpler to use liquid.

I think it would be cheaper for using powder.
I'm using ascorbic acid powder from the pharmacy nothing added just straight powder.

I have been using sodium ascorbate from Iherb for a year and half now and it's doing a good job.
I don't dose a lot though, just a little and I started dosing nopox as well and the two seem to work well together.

What does this do for a tank? I've never heard of this before.

Redsea NO3PO4-X
it is a source of carbon dosing.

LOL, I guess I'll have to go see what I can hunt up around here. I guess I can find some more "pure" stuff at the health food store?
I would never send Fred or Barney to the briny deep :razz:
