By the way, if adding I would recommend getting it either in powder or capsules, not pills as the pill fillers shorten the life of the vitamin so chances are that even before the addition the vitamin in the pill might already started to loose effectiveness.
interesting. this would account for why people are having to put entire bottles of pills into their tank to see any positive effect.

I have the pills.....but cant quite yet bring myself to do it, even though there have been no negative accounts...........

hmmm........
