I use similar supplements. Only I put it all in a squeeze bottle. Basically 2:1:1 ratio. 2 parts garlic guard, 1 part vitality, and 1 part zoo plankton. And I also add 2 ounces of vita chem. Shake the bottle up before each feeding, and add enough to cover all pellets. I feed my boys X-treme.

Sup Kev, Got in this hobbie about 2 yrs ago. Then went high tech planted aquarium co2, lights, and all. Loved the aqua scaping but pm was getting tuff. Then ran into you channel. Gottta say that ive learned alot. ( what i learned and still learning is that it takes years to balance, stabilize, and master your own aquarium set up. But learning from you i realized how many years of errors. money, & equipment you have saved me and everyone that watches your channel. I thank you for that. Now i upgrade to a 150 gal. tank from a 55 gal. My 55 gal was a community tank but i see all your cichlid videos and i took the risk of turning my tank into a semi aggressive cichlid tank. LEFT MY COMMUNITY FISHES IN THERE AND THEY ALL GETTING ALONG SO FAR. its been 3 month. Also removed all plants and just left all anubias. Easy pm. Now im learning your clear water setup for your cichlid. Bought a fluval fx6 and have your same setup. Except the crush corals because I dont need the high ph. (Yet). I have never gave thought to food and what they can do for fish color. So this will be my next course. My wife never liked this hobbie. Now she wants to learn everything and she says my tank belongs to her. My bad for such long review but i never leave a comment or anything. Not the media guy. But i just thought you deserve to hear what a good job you do. Also STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. CLARO Y PELADO!!! THANKS AGAIN BRO.

They all act like they know a lot, but don’t tell you about anything to get to PREVENT things from going bad. They wait until it’s bad to tell you what meds to treat with. I lost a Porcupine Puffer and a HumaHuma Trigger because of the improper guidance from them.

@KaveManAquatics4 жыл бұрын
Oh man sorry to hear that! I know Brown algae can be a total pain! First of all stub and remove as much as you can by hand. Then watch your feeding, cut it significantly. You have to reduce nitrates as much as possible. Maybe change to twice a week 70% water changes! And limit your lights to like 4-5 hours per day, no more than that. If all else fails the problem may be in your tap water. Test for phosphates and nitrates in your tap. If it’s your rap then you may need to switch to RO water, which is a pain in itself. I hope some of this helps, good luck bro!

Yesterday I bought crushed coral and put it as substrate to raise my ph. Yesterday night they ate some, not as much but I guess little by little. Now that I saw this video I bought all of the products that you recommended to see if they increase their appetite. I as well want them to thrive.

hey bro as always thank you for your videos do you feed the veggie, krill and formula together ? or separate them.
@KaveManAquatics3 жыл бұрын
My pleasure bro, I always separate them. Usually regular formula early in the day when theyre more active, veggie formula at night and krill on the weekends. For my juveniles. The adults just get a different formula daily.

I am big fan of nothfin as well just not for the veggie pellets though. NLS is much better their as they use variety of algae compared to northfin which is mostly kelp.I think gurlic guard is completely unnecessary with foods that already include garlic, too much garlic can cause issues. Big fan of vitachem as well. Never used the other products but seems like overkill with vitachem.

Question about feeding. The northfin Cichlid , veggie, Krill Do you add them all or just use Cichlid formula then next day veggie so forth? How often do you feed once or twice a day?
@KaveManAquatics2 жыл бұрын
The ladder! My adults eat once a day and fast on Sunday. My juveniles, twice a day 😁

You can refrigerate for a few days but I wouldnt anymore than 3 days as the supplements will lose their effect.

Hey Kev! Awesome work on the videos. What’s your opinion on hikari and xtreme fish food? I used to feed northfin
@KaveManAquatics3 жыл бұрын
Thanks bro! Honestly I started with Northfin, and my fish have done so good with it I never bothered changing to anything else 🤷♂️ But I have heard good reviews on both hikari and extreme...Sorry I couldnt help more.

Quick question,if I prepare a whole week at the same time where can I store it in the refrigerator I assume?but not on the freezer? If you can tell me please
@KaveManAquatics2 жыл бұрын
You could store in the fridge, but you'll begin to lose some of the nutrients after the first day. Its more beneficial to prepare and feed daily. BUT if you dont have the time. 1 week in the fridge will still give more benefits than not doing it at all.

Hi there, great video. I'm looking for these products locally. Have your opinion changed in the last 3 years since the video? also, these seem to be for marine setups... i do freshwater aquascaping. Are these safe for plants, shrimps, etc?
@KaveManAquatics10 ай бұрын
This is for freshwater fish as well as Marine. I did make one change to the regiment. Instead of Vitality (which is more for Marine fish) I switched that for Nourish (more for freshwater) Everything else is the same. Heres the updated video with more detail - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcWoprWSs82vXY0.html and yes, safe for plants, shrimps, invertebrates 💪

Hi, I saw a lot of your great videos and now I am in love with Cichlid. I love Mbuna and Peacock. However, someome said the challenge we mix them together is how to find the way to feed them since they are different diets. Is it true or it does not matter ? Is there any brand that both Mbuna and Peacock can enjoy and no issue about digestion or floating? Thank you
@KaveManAquatics3 жыл бұрын
Yes its very true. Although some people do mix peacock and mbuna, their difference in diet is an issue. But thats not the only thing, theres more...Id advise a beginner not to mix them. Since you're into African Cichlids you should check out my free webinar training here - event.webinarjam.com/channel/KaveMan-Aquatics

May I ask why you use Vitality instead of Nourish which is made for freshwater fishes?

Because I believe Vitality is better, Vitality has vitamin C.
