In intact coral reefs, intense biological activity naturally generates high concentrations of marine biopolymers. By binding to nutrients and being colonized by specialized bacteria, these compounds form particles visible to the naked eye, rich in nutrients. These flakes or filaments are known as Reef Snow.
Reef Snow is a preparation made from natural marine biopolymers, designed to replicate this phenomenon in a reef aquarium. In combination with food or plankton substitutes, it allows the formation of nutritional flakes similar to natural Reef Snow, easily captured by corals and other filter feeders.
The concentration of the solution can be adjusted to modulate the size of the flakes formed, allowing precise adaptation to the different types of filter feeders present in the aquarium.
| Origin | Natural biopolymers from the marine environment |
| Nutrition | Natural nutritional source for corals and other filter feeders |
| Filtration | Enhances the ability to capture food particles |
| Assimilation | Promotes the absorption of nutrients |
| Water Quality | Helps reduce nutrient load |
| Flakes | Variable size depending on the concentration used |
| Fish | Larger particles have a prebiotic effect |
| Versatility | Ideal support for adding vitamins and dietary supplements |
Algae, algae extract.
Mix about 1.5 measuring spoons of Reef Snow in 100 ml of osmosis water and let it swell for one to two hours, stirring several times.
Then add the desired food or plankton substitute, let it swell for another 30 minutes, and then slowly distribute the preparation in the aquarium.
The concentration can be adjusted between 1 and 2 measuring spoons for 100 ml of water to change the size of the particles formed.
A prepared solution of Reef Snow, without added food or plankton substitute, can be stored for up to two weeks at room temperature.
The use of Reef Snow brings the feeding of corals and filter feeders closer to the natural conditions observed on coral reefs.
