MY BH MIX...SUGGESTION

[4discusdude]

Well i'm kinda new to the forumn. But been keeping discus almost 3 year. Here is my bh mix, any opinion is welcome.
3 lb beeheart (fat trim and vien)
2 lb salmon fillet
1 lb raw shrimp
6 tablet women one a day vitamin
6 gel cod liver oil
1 bag baby spinach
5 tbl spoon of lose Al FDBW
6 teaspoon of each pro more and pro grow
10 capsle of surplina powder.
10 bag of unflavor gelatin cook with hot water
I make 2 different batch. One with pro more and one with pro grow.

I would lose the women's vitamins since you are adding pro more and pro growth..a bit overkill on the vitamins with both imo. No reason for the gelatin since you are using shrimp as a binder. And both spirulina powder and spinach is not needed one or the other will suffice.

thankx tnt77, next time will cut out the women vitamins. As for gelatin, last batch i add 2 lb of shrimp and ON prime reef flake as a binder, no gelatin, it really make my tank dirty fast.

With a large proportion of salmon, you may not need the cod liver oil either. Too much oil will make your water surface oily and scummy

oh, forgot to ask something, what happen if use too much vitamins? like you said i already had pro grow or pro more in mix? what is the side effect for the discus?? Been feeding with this mix for two day already with the super beefheart flake from bill and ON Prime reef flake..
