Vitamins Dosing

[pvh]

Just curious if anyone dose with vitamins? I've seen product from SeaChem and was thinking of giving it a try. Also what about using Vitamin C?

While I'm not saying the info is wrong (as I've not read in detail the info from that link) I'd be pretty careful about anything I got from a site with Athiel in the name. I believe it stands for Albert Thiel. He was once a bit of a guru in the aquarium hobby until people realized that a lot of the stuff he professed was not sound. At one point he was pretty much considered the king of the snake oil salesmen in the reefkeeping hobby until possibly toppled by Mark Weiss a few years back!

Sorry I don't have anything substantive to add to the discussion about vitamins use. I think that they have use certainly to soak fish food in. Whether they have use directly to corals and other inverts in an average tank...I just don't know.
