But at any rate, you don't have to do Coral Snow anyhow. It's just something that grabs ahold of the yellowing compounds and makes it easier to skim out so your water is theoretically a little more polished once the initial cloudiness clears up.

And it's totally different than the pellets anyhow. Think of the pellets as an alternative to a phosphate remover that instead 1) does both nitrates and phosphates, and 2) does not need to be replaced every month.

Hope this helps.

Coral snow also acts as a binding agent, making it easier for your corals to assimilate nutrients.....also neutralizes acids that cause diatoms and cyano

The pellets do indeed seem to be the shiz....except for one thing....$100/L and 1L/100g.......ouch!......

Good to hear that your happy with the tank again Girly
