Zeovit 14day cycle question and 3hr on 3 hr off cycle

So reading up the Zeovit 14 day tank cycle method I came across this little tidbit which had failed to make an impact the prior times I read it, but this time with bottles in hand, it made my eyes kinda bug out and my jaw drop..

8. Dosage
The addition of ZEObak, ZEOstart and Sponge Power can be started now.
ZEObak: 5 ml per 100 liters/25 gallons
ZEOstart: 10 ml per 100 liters/25 gallons
Sponge Power: 3 ml per 100 liters/25 gallons

Those aren't typos are they ?? I'm guessing not but hoooooleee, if one had a (say for complete hypothetical example) a 280g tank, that would be a full ~60ml of ZEObak, ~120ml of Zeostart and ~30ml of Sponge Power, or in other words about $125 of zeovit stuff ????? On DAY ONE???

Who's all done the "14 day Zeovit" cycling diet? Is it all it's cracked up to be?


Also, do they no longer recommend a 3 hour on / 3 hour off cycle for the reactor for when first starting up? I couldn't find any reference to it in the new guide (1.03). Did I overlook it?
