Anybody ever use Marine Snow in their reef tank. My LFS recommended it and I`ll give it a try but I wanted some other opinions. As usual with all things that I add to my tank (which is very little) I will under dose to err on the safe side. I have been using DT`s phytoplankton and oyster eggs. I suspect these will be better than the marine snow.

Melosu,

IME Marine Snow has done absolutely nothing. I have added it at various times during my reef career and didn't see any results. Whether this is just my personal expierence or the norm I don't know. I think the DT's and Oyster Eggs you are using will be more then enough.

I use DT's and have noticed marked improvements in soft coral health.

I've tried using Marine Snow as well. I can't say either that I've seen that big of an effect. I did notice the corals perk up and send out feeders in the tank, but I can't say they've benefited from any of it.

IME, DT's is the way to go.

Thanks for the info

Another additive Melosu, that IME has worked well is Cyclopeeze. Not only do my corals seem to enjoy it, the mandarinfish even picks at it as well.

I would recommend staying with the DT's. I use that in the 190 gallon tank at work. Love it! Watch the shelf life though......
