Natural Vitamins Whats your view on these

Was woundering if anyone tried using vitamins from vitamin stores in replacement of Zoe and Selcon. I asked around and talked to Peter Eichler who gave me some excellent info.

You should be able to find 6oz. bottles for a little more than $5. When I had my fish food company I did an enormous amount of research and experimenting and I had a lot of luck with reversing HLLE and improving health in fish in my many tanks as well as the fish at local fish stores. Also had a lot of luck with finicky and difficult to keep fish, but that probably had more to do with the freshness of the food and the seafood that went into it. GNC would be a good place to look, even if it's for adults as long as it doesn't have a flavoring or some other advertised additive besides vitamins it should be fine. Whole foods would be another good place to look, and they have a powdered form of vitamin C and Seagreen capsules which is a powdered vitamin derived from kelp. Both will be quite safe.

Here's a multi vitamin that I came across that looks interesting. It also has amino and fatty acids.

This multi vitamin is like what I'm talking about and probably would be a good choice.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions give me a shout back.

Many have including coral guru Eric Borneman; Eric told me he stopped using vitamins in his homemade fish/coral food because all the necessary vitamins are already in his blend of fresh foods and greens.

I mix numerous items from my local seafood deli such as shrimp, clam, crab and fish flesh (whatever marine fish is on sale) with nori, cyclopeeze and phytoplankton. I blend it to the consistency I desire and place it in a freezer bag. I cut the amount I need and thaw it in a small glass of tank water before adding it to the aquarium.

what is Cyclopeeze? hmm I thought that fresh sea food didnt contain any vitamins so people would use zoe/selcon vitamins to help boost fish immune system. Im woundering if these substitutes work as well? Im trying togather more information on this kind of vitamin, would appreciate more info thanks.
