Marine Snow

[kar93]

ive been reading about feeding my toadstool. I never fed before but its started to go a duller colour so i decided to try and feed it. I told the guy at the LFS and he recommended marine snow. Should i feed it through a syringe or just put it straight into the tank

I just shoot some right above it and let it fall down into him, that marine snow works great.

Additives are a scarey thing, but I have tried using marine snow a little bit in my tanks and havnet ever really noticed algal blooms from use.

Marine Snow would not regain color, its mainly used to keep sponges, & other filter feeding corals alive, not to enhance color in photosynthetic corals, usually people add more actinics or go to 14k bulbs to enhance color

I usually just turn all of the pumps and powerheads off, take the jar with premixed phyto,zooplankton, marine snow whatever and just pour in slow over the busiest areas of the tank. I have successfully kept all type of softies, no need to break your back target feeding. Good luck with them.
