I remember looking into this a while ago. It seemed that it was one of those "it sounds like it should work, but I don't really notice a difference to be honest" kind of things. People did it, it became popular, and then it fizzed out because noone could tell the difference or show any positive effect from a causal view, only correlation, and the biggest mistake people on RC make is assuming that correlation is the same thing as causation.

I've been using them all winter and my fish have yet to catch a cold--LOL

sorry i could not resist here:eek2:

seriously---I use garlic guard with flake food once a day. There is some evidence out there that over a long period it increases the fishes immunity system.

It also keeps away vampire fish.

I've seen kids multivitamins fed into full blown sps tanks. In fact one of our colleagues here used to dose them consistently.
for what its worth !

lol.. i expected some respones like that . but i have seen a few before and after shots of what tanks/ corals looked like with vit c. but i dont know if its something else or if the vit c really helped bulk up and color up. supposidly nothing was changed from before they started and the whole time they were doing it. nothing added nothing taken away.
