Tropic Marin® Reef Snow – Natural Marine Biopolymer Binding Agent

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.

How Reef Snow Enhances Your Ecosystem

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).

Application & Dosage Guide

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.

FAQ: Professional Feeding Tips

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.
