I noticed some discrepancies on the labels on the bottles compared to the Dosing Guide (from 2018) and from the original Dosing Recommendations, (circa 2009? ). The largest discrepancies are:
The attached table shows all the Zeovit additives I use. The first column shows the dosages written on the bottle. The next two columns show the dosages on the 2018 GUIDE and the “original” guide from circa 2009 (when I first using these products).
Dosages on bottles are in blue. Matching dosages on Guides are also blue. Dosages that differ from the bottle labels are in red (for the 2018 Guide) and in green (for the original Guide).
(You can ignore the last two columns which are my NOTES and dosages I'm currently using)
It would be nice to hear a response from Korallen-Zucht, but I will appreciate a response from anyone with knowledge or a strong opinions as to which is the proper dosage to follow.
Thank you!
- Iron Conentrate: bottle says 1 ml per 50 gal per week;
