Bring the complex nutritional dynamics of a wild coral reef to your aquarium with Tropic Marin® Reef Snow. In nature, biological activity creates flaky, filamentous particles known as "Reef Snow"—nutrient-rich biopolymers colonized by beneficial bacteria.
Tropic Marin® Reef Snow allows you to replicate this phenomenon. By using natural marine biopolymers, this supplement binds with your existing coral foods and plankton to form nutrient-rich flakes. This process significantly increases the "filterability" of your food, making it easier for corals, sponges, and other filter feeders to capture and digest nutrition.
Improves Nutrient Uptake: By binding liquid and microscopic foods into larger "snow" flakes, it ensures that corals capture more food before it is removed by mechanical filtration.
Natural Prebiotic Effect: The larger particles act as a healthy, prebiotic food source for fish, supporting gut health and immunity.
Reduces Water Waste: By making food easier to catch, less uneaten food decomposes in the rockwork, helping to lower overall nitrate and phosphate levels.
Customizable Particle Size: You can easily vary the concentration of the solution to match the specific needs of your filter feeders—from tiny SPS polyps to large Gorgonians and Sun Corals.
The Perfect Binder: Ideal for enriching food with vitamins (like Tropic Marin LIPOVIT) or immune stimulants (IMMUVIT).
Preparation is key to creating the perfect "snow" consistency.
Hydrate: Stir approx. 1.5 measuring spoons of Reef Snow into 100 ml of RO/DI water.
Wait: Allow the mixture to soak for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Enrich: Stir in your chosen coral food, plankton substitute, or vitamins.
Final Soak: Let the combined mixture sit for another 30 minutes before dispersing it into a high-flow area of the aquarium.
Pro Tip: You can adjust the flake size by varying the dosage between 1 and 2 spoons per 100 ml. A prepared stock solution (without food added) can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.

How do I make the flakes bigger? To create larger particles for fish or LPS corals, increase the dosage to 2 scoops per 100ml. For fine SPS "snow," use 1 scoop.
Does this affect my skimmer? Reef Snow actually helps your skimmer! By binding fine particulates, any uneaten food is more easily removed by the skimmer's bubbles, leading to a cleaner tank.
Can I use it with live plankton? Absolutely. Reef Snow is an excellent way to "clump" live phytoplankton so that it stays in the water column longer for your corals to capture.
