Vitamins

[ASIN28]

How often should vitamins be mixed with food for overall health? I was looking into Seachem Vitality, any other suggestions and how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance

What kind of tank are you running?

Running a 120G, going for a mixed reef in the near future right now just have yellow tang, Chromis, and 2 Ocellaris Clowns. Hippo and PBrT in quarantine at the moment. Just live rock, no corals yet.

1-2X per week
Selcon and Vita-chem very good

I've been dropping both into most of my feedings -- is that too much, too often?

I mix AM Selcon into both my DIY soft pellet and LRS Fertility Frenzy. All of my fish spawn regularly so I want to keep them fat & happy. If your filtration can keep up with it, your tank will be fine. I feed a good amount of Selcon multiple times per day and have never noticed any adverse effects.

Alternate them
Sunday and Wednesday- vitamins
Tuesday and Friday- garlic

If you feed fish what they are supposed to eat, which is food from the sea, vitamins are a waste of money.
Almost all my fish are spawning and only dying of old age. Some are 30 years old and have never had vitamins.
I also don't have to quarantine or medicate.
Proper food is the most important thing you can do.
You can add vitamins if you like, they won't hurt anything and I take them myself, but only because my wife gives them to me.
