I did the math.
Here are my corrections for this month, and my daily doses.
Corrections:
Strontium: 11.05 ml for 1 day
Boron: 8.99ml for 1 day
Rubidium: 71.92ml for 2 days
Barium: 45.10ml for 4 days
Molybdenum: 17.88ml for 5 days
Zinc: 1.20ml for 3 days
Daily:
Manganese: 1.44ml
Chromium: 0.28ml
Cobalt: 0.28ml
Iron: 0.14ml
Rubidium: 0.79ml
Iodine: 16 drops
I'm keeping the Strontium, Potassium(not needed this month) and Iodine off the list. They are brightwell products, and so the cost is going to be less than $1 a month for all of them combined due to the really small amounts. And iodine I do by the drop, so tough to calculate, but still no real cost for it.
Anyway, here are my costs this month:
Boron: 11.05ml = $0.36
Rubidium: 167.54ml = $13.40
Barium: 180.4ml = $7.21
Molybdenum: 89.4ml = $3.57
Zinc: 3.6ml = $0.14
Manganese: 43.2ml = $1.73
Chromium: 8.4ml = $0.36
Cobalt: 8.4ml = $0.36
Iron: 4.2ml = $0.17
So for these elements, my cost was $27.30. However, I really want to add another $5 on here. This month I didn't have to dose Fluoride, normally I have to dose a lot of it. It's hard to say how much I will need month to month after my big initial dose, but I expected more. So, I'm going to assume $32.30 for the month as an estimate.
He does have 2 other products that are optional. I got them on my first order, not sure I'm going to keep doing them due to costs. I guess if I see a difference after I run out(haven't so far) I'll order again, but right now I'm leaning towards not.
Vitamin Carb-X: 0.5ml daily, 15ml = $10
Liqui-Mud: 2ml daily, 60ml = $12
Not really outrageous, actually a little cheaper than I expected. But I don't know what these things really do and it's $22 a month, nearly half the total cost of the full program.
So full program cost for this month: $54.30 in elements. Throw in $15 for ICP test every 3 months and total cost: $69.30 for a 180g tank. If I dump the optional as planned, I'll be spending roughly $50 a month. Not bad, and the ICP tests I think add their own value.
