Tropic Marin Reef Snow 60 g/2 oz.
Due to the high biological activity in intact coral reefs, high concentrations of biopolymer substances are found there. In contact with nutrient particles and through colonization with specialized bacteria, particles with an increased nutrient content are formed, which are also visible to the naked eye. These flaky to stringy particles are known as reef snow.
Tropic Marin® Reef Snow contains such natural biopolymers from the sea. Together with other feed materials, they form nutrient-rich flakes, which are similar to those of natural reef snow, and feed them to the corals and other filter feeders. The concentration of a Tropic Marin® Reef Snow solution can be varied in order to individually adapt the size of the flakes to the filter feeders maintained in the pool.
-
natural source of nutrients for corals and other filter feeders
-
increases the filterability of the particles for many corals and filter feeders
-
improves their nutrient utilization
-
reduces the nutrient load in the water
-
Flake size variable
-
larger particles are healthy food with a prebiotic effect for fish
-
ideal for binding vitamins and other enrichments to the feed
To use, stir approx. 1.5 measuring spoons of Tropic Marin® Reef Snow into 100 ml reverse osmosis water and allow to swell for one to two hours while stirring repeatedly. Then stir in the food or the plankton substitute, let it swell for another 30 minutes and then distribute it in the aquarium.
A prepared Tropic Marin® Reef Snow stock solution (without food / plankton substitute ) can be kept for two weeks at room temperature. By varying the dosage with 1 to 2 measuring spoons per 100 ml, the size of the Tropic Marin® Reef Snow particles can be varied.
