Two Little Fishies Marine Snow
- Thread starter KahluaZzZ

Haven't tried marine snow, but I know my corals (cloves, shroom, ric and candycane) appreciate the 2nd day feedings of cyclopeeze powder.
Corals aren't plants, they have mouths for a reason, one cant rely solely on light to make the corals grow - Just like you can't raise fish (well most anyway) on a veggie flake alone; need some variety in food to ensure proper nutrition.

Camaro: yep, we'll agree to disagree on this one... I tend to follow the "feed more" side of SW (There's some articles out there showing that increased feeding actually reduces nitrates and causes a drastic improvement in the health of fish / corals in a large (think 10,000g) aquarium environment). I'll see if I can dig up the article tonight.
I know a few people who think I feed way too much - but I know that in MY TANK feeding 2 small pinches of flake / cyclopeze flake daily, and a minute amount of cyclopeeze powder every second day, produces about the same nitrate as feeding every second day. The improvement in the color, size and look of the corals within days of the increase in feedings - made me decide to change my methods. Realizing that the nitrates weren't building any faster sold me on this method.
