ok, so i bought some kent marine "zoe" vitamins
and nobody like em, im using it on everything and theyre really not eating

and as far a water changes, i do like a 10% everyweek
does the sw/fw factor determine if they grow faster or slower?

Well mine arent full marine yet but every post about others and their GSP said "they thrived, got bigger and more colorful. Also they never had their mustaches anymore and were hunting the live rock more instead of window surfing

Up you water changes to 50% weekly. The less your tap and tank differ, the less problems the tank will have.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

+1, bigger WC. That's certainly the #1 way to insure larger, healthier fish!
