YOu might have something there on the vitamins. I had a skeleton looking Foxface in my 330gal,
For 8 months he never gained mass. The water params were always good. We do not check for
trace elements just the standards like
PH,
ca,
ammonia etc.
We started adding Seachem marine trace and did water changes 1x per week. Thats about 30-35 gallons per week. Running carbon might suck some of the nutients out.
Its hard to prove which did it, the water, the garlic or adding trace. All I know is the foxface has a nice round tummy on it now.
