| Re: Marine Snow???
Here's what I do in my 135 mixed reef very heavily filled with corals of all types, SPS, LPS leathers, several types of mushrooms, pallies, zoanthids and featherdusters. In other words a tank loaded to the max. Oh, yes, three Tridacnid clams 6" that were 3" two years ago. My filter feeding regimen is as follows.
From Reef Nutrition I buy Phyto Feast and Roti Feast (16 oz) I mix them 50/50 in 3 previously emptied bottles. To them I add frozen Cyclopeze (thawed of course). Freeze-dried Cyclopeze is a waste, in my humble opinion. Two of the bottles are frozen for future use. These are all natural feeds. The Reef Nutrition products are widely used in aquaculture.
Three times a week I feed 90 ml of this mix to the tank. I turn off the main circulating pump which feeds the skimmer. There are two Koralia #3s that circulate the food around. After 30 minutes the main pump comes back on.
My Nitrates and Phosphates are 0 ppm. Clams and corals look great.
