Post Liquid Vitamins

I recently purchased **** BOYD'S VITA-CHEM (liquid vitamins).  The directions say to "add 2 drops per gallon once a week and several drops in food five times a week."
Does anyone use a vitamin supplement such as this?  
Does it work?
What is the drawback or possible negative side effects?
Will this add too much nourishment to the water and cause a terrible algae or bacteria outbreak?Will this be neutralized by the carbon in my filters?
Will it benefit my tank of tetras, loaches, gouramis, oto cats, and plecos?

Post Re: Liquid Vitamins

My cousin uses these liquid vitamins and she says they're great and really help bring out her fishes colors and health. I don't think there are any drawbacks, as for algea and bacteria they shouldn't be a problem. I don't know about the carbon but it will probably definitely help your fish.

Post Re: Liquid Vitamins

I dont use Vitamins anymore. "I" feel its a waste of money. My fish are as nice, if not better looking than any book I have seen them in.

Carbon is the biggest waste of money. I stopped using carbon a year ago. It wont really do much after the 1st 5 days, except allow some bacteria to grow on it. I only use carbon for getting medication out of the water. My water is just as clear as it was with using carbon.
