coral snow do you use it

[samuelkl]

I use multiple sources. I'm on brs biopellets, running 1/4th recommended dose, with 5 mls vodka daily, a pinch of vitamin c every couple days, and sometimes vinegar if I feel like it. I run heavy flow near the waterline, over skim and run kalk to help keep oxygenation up and co2 down

So do you combine this snow and bak to make that cyano 5 min.cocktail? anyone using both zeo bak and the snow in a cocktail if so how long do you let them marinate? 5 min or more? applied after blowing the rocks off or after waterchange. Say blow the rocks off do water change then add the cocktail?

that sounds like a good plan

and yes, mix tank water + snow + bak. let it sit for couple of mins and stir and dose.

[after water change is good Idea, as it doesnt let cyano take up the elements added. yet makes them available in ore basic form, for SPS corals]

oh and overdose would increase KH. regular dose should have minimal Effect.

it is magnesium carbonate. with really small size. 0.1 micro I think if I remember correctly.

How long and often would you repeat the snow and bak together to fight a bad Cyano outbreak? The bak says just use once a week, is it bad to mix it with the snow every other day? Also for people using it successfully for Cyano, do you dose it daily or every other day, or less?

You can dose it 3x a week with zeobac you should not have an issue..you can keep dosing till its gone..do some manual removal also and figure out what is causing your problem goodluck..

Thanks, today it was dramatically better after just two doses. Feeding so much is the problem. Its also a new tank added onto my system and lights were moved down a lot too. I will try doing this 3 times a week

Also had my blues on my d2040 on for way to long (for viewing purposes) not realizing that was fueling it even worse.
