TwoLittleFishies Marine Snow Plankton Diet 473 ml (16 oz.) Net Wt. 475 g.
A Natural Planktonic Food for Filter Feeding Marine Invertebrates.
This first of its kind product reproduces the special colloidal biogenic suspended matter found in natural seawater. These colloids, collectively called "marine snow" by ocean researchers, are known to be an important element in the food chain of marine ecosystems. MarineSnow is a natural planktonic food for filter feeding marine invertebrates. This first of its kind product reproduces the special colloidal biogenic suspended matter found in natural seawater. These colloids, collectively called "marine snow" by ocean researchers, are known to be an important element in the food chain of marine ecosystems. They have been a missing element in closed system aquaria until now.
MarineSnow meets the special needs of tropical coral reef and cold water marine animals that feed on particulate and dissolved organic matter, phytoplankton and zooplankton. The formula for MarineSnow is based on natural components of ocean plankton, does not contain yeast or egg solids, and is blended to provide food packages of the right size range for filter feeders. The formula includes suspended microscopic particles ranging in size from under 20 microns up to 150 microns, and the colloidal clumps formed when it mixes with seawater are macroscopic. Ideal food for soft and stony corals, anemones, hydrozoans, feather duster worms, clams, crinoids (feather stars), sponges, tunicates (sea squirts), foraminiferans, and other filter feeders. Shrimps, brittle stars and even fishes will eat MarineSnow colloids.
MarineSnow therefore replicates plankton feeding behaviors for these creatures. Recommended dosage: 5mL per 20 gallons per feeding.

Found that this works great for feeding corals and my apple. Over feeding with Marine Snow doesn't seem to cause algal blooms like with other foods. The lid will tend to leak, or at least get the threads covered in product when you shake it up because it is too long to seal correctly. I've had this ...Read More
Found that this works great for feeding corals and my apple. Over feeding with Marine Snow doesn't seem to cause algal blooms like with other foods. The lid will tend to leak, or at least get the threads covered in product when you shake it up because it is too long to seal correctly. I've had this issue with the last 4 bottles. Fortunately it is easily solved by cutting off about 1/8th to 1/4 inch from the rim of the lid.Hide

I've been using this product in my reef tanks for years. I target feed my coral, but I also pour some strait in front of my power heads to disperse it throughout the tank. All my corals and invertebrates love it, and even though I am adding extra organic matter to the tank, I have never had a problem with it increasing my Nitrates or Ammonia levels. Very easy to use and great for my reef. It will take quite a bit to get me to use any other product.Hide
