Default KZ Immuno-Stabil ?

Anyone using this? The instructions are kinda goofy and don't make sense to me. Says 1-2 drops per 1g food. Uhhhhh one gallon of food is rather a lot ? Ie., is this for premixing food?

If you use it, can you post how you're using it? Please and thanks!

Hi Tony,

I use it. I just add a few drops in my food a couple of times a week. I let it soak in with the garlic and selcon and then feed. I've been doing this since I set up the tank. Don't know if it does anything but it sure lasts a long time. Hope this helps.

I have looked at this stuff, never bought because fish seem happy and healthy. Is it just a supplement, like vitamins?

We use it in the store, it seems to make beat up fins heal faster. Fish colors and all around health are improved from using immunstabil in my experience.

I used it once. Buy next day I lost xenia and lawnmower blenny. Every one else was gasping for air. Devils' hand went into shedding mood. I don't know if the
ISF is to blame, but never will use it again. I only add one drop.
Could not find any info if it's reef safe.

So if anyone like a full bottle(100 ml) for $20, let me know.

Sorry for your loss, but I would most definitely not attribute it to Immn-Stabil. I use the product myself on all my fish in my reefs (as many of you have seen, if I was going to lose stuff, I sure do have a lot to lose) to no ill effect. As Joe Reefer pointed out, I definitely notice a huge difference in how quickly my fish heal after injury or shipping stress.
