Calcium, Calcium with D3, Multi Vitamin Includes D3 - What is the proper supplement schedule?

I have a 7 month old bearded dragon and I am trying to figure out what the supplement schedule should be and I'm mostly confused by the D3. This is what I have

Flukers Multi Vitamin with Beta Carotene (the nutrition label in back says in includes D3)
Flukers Calcium non phosphorus
Flukers Calcium with D3

If the multi vitamin has D3, then I should not give the calcium with D3?

Give the cal w/ D3 and the vitamin w/ beta carotene- lightly coat the insects - the cal w/ D3 5 x per week ONE time per feeding / day and the vitamins 2 x per week lightly coated ONE time per feeding /day - he should be fine ---- the calcium non phosph will be given at the time hes a year old and the cal w/ D3 will be cut back -- your UVB bulb T 5 or T 8 is going to determine how many times to give

Ok so w/ that being said at one year of age you will drop the cal d3 down to one time per week and use your cal w/ no phosph 2 times per week - dusting the insects lightly coated -- the vitamins wont need to be given as frequently if the dragon is eating his salads hes going to get his nutrients etc from those --

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
