Advanced Multi-Vitamin Supplement for all Marine Fish & Reef Aquaria.
Overview:
Technical Background:
Vitamins
are compounds required in minute concentrations for vital metabolic
reactions; the amounts of vitamins required for a given species varies.
Short-term vitamin deficiencies can typically be tolerated by most
organisms, however long-term deficiencies tend to result in
abnormalities, poor health, and eventually even death of the specimen.
Conversely, if severely overdosed, ingested vitamins can have a negative
impact on a specimen by way of toxicity, though the impact is unlikely
to be permanent. Decreasing the vitamin dosage typically results in full
recovery of the affected specimen. For these reasons, it is recommended
that Vītamarin-M be utilized either as a means of delivering vitamins
to aquarium inhabitants through food or by direct addition to the water,
but not both.
All
Brightwell Aquatics liquid water care supplements are made with
purified water and high purity materials. We develop formulae for
aquaria based on empirical data, using observation and measurement
rather than theory.
Vitamarin-M
does not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area
will prolong the activity of the vitamins. Refrigeration will maximize
the shelf-life of the product.
Instructions and Guidelines:
If
using to fortify food (recommended): Place food in a clean container
such as a small bowl or cup and add only enough Vitamarin-M to saturate.
Allow at least 5 minutes to elapse before feeding, enabling adequate
time for the vitamins to become thoroughly absorbed by the food. Liquid
food suspensions may be fortified by adding 1 ml (approximately 8 drops)
Vitamarin-M per 10 ml of food suspension; stir to mix and allow 5
minutes to elapse before feeding. Maximum benefit of any liquid food
suspension is achieved when the food is target-fed to the intended
organisms rather than poured into a stream of water and allowed to
disperse randomly throughout the aquarium.
If adding directly to aquarium water: Begin by adding 2 ml
(approximately 16 drops) of Vītamarin-M per 20 US-gallons of water
weekly for the first four weeks of use; this corresponds to adding
approximately 2 drops per 20 US-gallons each day. Then, gradually
increase the weekly dosage to 4 ml per 20 US-gallons over the following
four weeks and maintain this dosage. [Note: if using Vitamarin-M in
conjunction with Brightwell Aquatics Koralle-VM, decrease dosages by
50%.] Starting at a low dosage will not cause any harm to the livestock,
and will enable you to notice subtle changes in the appearance of the
system that indicate the effectiveness and need for the product.
