Marine Snow

[tiger]

Hi, need advise on the above subject.

My tank is a fowler, but go some coral, like mushrooms, tubeworms, polyps.

I dose about 2 cups per week, and off the skimmer like what they advised, am I doing it correctly?

Tank size is 4x2.5x2.5 about 170g.

Do I need to off the light when dosing too?

Appreciate any experts who had used this product to comments, tks so much.

To use marine snow effectively

while dripping inside your tank have a bubbles pushing the solution so it will form "snow" like substance on the tank.

I use to turn off my skimmer and canister as I have only a 2ft tabk afarid will be suck away/push up bt the filter or skimmer. (remember once off the skimmer it a take sometime for the skimmer to break in again)

For long run I will not continue to use Marine snow coz of the high cost.

my 2 cent

Regards,

Moxa

Marine snow is not a good product because the fact is it is made up of a lot of water and little nutrition , there is a fact sheet posted up. Use the search key and enter 'Marine Snow'... you will see some interesting info and comments. Yahoo will show you the RC lab report by Dr Ron.
