red scallops

[bunkerboy]

I purchased two red scallops, they are beautiful. The local fish store recommended that i buy a product call marine snow, is it better than other brands out there. Also, do i have to just dump it into the tank? I have been using a long syringe to draw up about 5ml and spraying it near the scallops. Thanks. bunker

People say that they cant get more than 1+ yeat outta some scallops. AParantly the dont get the nutrition they need.

spot feed and good luck.

Marine Snow is fine btw.

Perosnally I use Coral Frenzy, but they are all okay.

Marine snow is about worthless. Last I recall it was determined to be 99% water.
