Vitamin additive question

[nolatrav]

I just started adding vitamins, specifically Kent Zoe, to my frozen foods. I've searched the board for some kind of guide but haven't found anything, so my question is: How many drops should I add? I normally feed 2 cubes, one frozen mysis and one of something else like squid, emerald entree, brine, or marine cuisine. My routine since I started adding the vitamins has been to defrost in water from the tank, stir and strain with net, then add a little water (tiniest bit possible) to remove from net back into cup. I've been adding about 5-8 drops every other day. I know it says let it sit overnight but I've been waiting about a hour before feeding. Am I doing this correctly or should I change my routine? I'm sure I had another question as well but can't think of it at the moment. Will get back when it comes to me.

You can try the vitachem as well,, 4 drops per 2 cubes,, i soak prior to feeding but not overnight but i dont see anyproblem with soaking overnight, ive done it.

Is that 4 drops per 2 cubes for vitachem or just a general rule? I do plan on getting vitachem as well but dont have money to order at the moment.
The directions just state add several drops to any food prior to feeding. Pretty broad if you ask me. Thanks for the help.

No, there is no written rule, but for me its 2 drops per cube,, because thier big drops. I think its more than enough.

It realy depends, there is no "rule" as Mia said. You don't have to saturate the food. Some vitamine drops are bigger than others. For Vitachem I use about 3 drops, for zoecon I use one or two. Remember that is going to soak in.
