Vita-Chem vs. Carbon

[Meche]

I can't believe I didn't think of this earlyer, I think I'm wasting vitamins.

Will carbon take vita-chem out of the water?

hmmm doesnt carbon take most anything out???
Thats a good question.

Not sure, but some people use carbon to remove medication after treating their tanks so quite possibly, but not positive. I actually have no idea what vitachem is

Since carbon removes organics too, you are probably wasting both vita chem and carbon. I add the vita chem to dried foods, none wasted that way. Great suppliment

I soak food in it, not add it directly to the tank.

Krish, is just vitamins. I think mostly vitamin C.

I'm using it to treat a blue tang a friend of mine gave me that has a terrable case of MHLLE.

Check this thread out. The fish is still kicking a few weeks later, but still looks pretty bad.

Hey Mike,

do you use it on your display fish? Or just for rehab?

 

[Herefishyfishy]

Mostly just use it for variety. Me thinks that fish and corals of the sea, get a lot more variety than we could ever supply. Have been told by many that the ingredients in Vita Chem are great for the tank. I have noticed the formulation change through the decades. Used to be clear reddish colored liquid. I occasionally soak plankton and flakes in it.

Good to know, thanks.
