Best Marine Vitamin Soaks?

[Aspect]

Hello, curious what others use successfully to soak their food in? I currently feed around 10 times daily and soak freeze dried mysis and brine both 1x with selcon, then I will soak later with Vitachem, and once again later with Vitality.

Selcon very good and adds needed fars
Vitachem marine as well as marine zoe

Selcon gets expensive, I spend around $50 a month on it

How big is your tank? That is a ton of Selcon

I go through 2 60mL containers a month so closer to $40 actually

I have multi tanks and a bottle lasts me 7-8 months. Requires a small squirt 2-3 x per week
One tank has 33 fish
Seems you’re adding a bit much- a few drops is sufficient

They seem to enjoy the selcon soaked moreso than if it's not soaked. So I like to apply a lot, my fish are really fat, so I want to keep them that way.

Another vote for selcon. I use it a couple times a week on pellets.
It’s also good as a appetite stimulant.
A few drops go a long way.

Do you soak nori with it? I have started doing that, but not sure how much to use per sheet. I put a few drops then spread it around and let it sit for about 30 seconds. I'm trying to help heal a tang that developed HLLE recently. Also experimenting with soaking pellets with selcon and vita-chem, but haven't had any luck with getting any of my fish onto pellets (other than my clownfish, which like the small TDO pellets). Wondering if a better way to get selcon to all my fish would be soaking freeze dried mysis or brine as a supplement to the frozen I feed...

I also have a friend who was told to try Brightwell AminOmega to help heal a tang of hers with a pretty bad case of HLLE. I haven't tried that one yet though.

I add garlic extract to nori and occasionally

I use selcon (extortionate in the UK) some Seachem vitality and even sometimes use Redsea AB+

+ for Selcon.
I too have been trying to scale back though. No more than 3-4 drops per cube, etc..
