Ocean Snow 2L

Marine snow is a word first coined by American
naturalist, marine biologist, and explorer William Beebe in the 1930's to
describe the continuous shower of organic and inorganic particles that he
observed from his bathysphere. In the ocean, marine snow provides a means of
transporting nutrient rich matter from the photic zone near the surface towards
the ocean floor. Continuum Ocean Snow replicates this process by providing a
rich source of both organic and inorganic nutrients simultaneously. It provides
aragonite based inorganic minerals, as well as rich marine proteins and lipids
in ratios necessary for coral growth.

Use in aquarium keeping:

Ocean Snow provides an excellent means of supplying both organic and
inorganic nutrients to filter feeding invertebrates of all types. It is useful
for hard and soft corals, tube worms, clams, sponges, tunicates and others.
Continuum recommends that the hobbyist vary the types and sizes of foods
delivered into the reef aquarium. Other Continuum foods that make good choices
for this food rotation include Coral Exponential, Micro.Blast, Zoo.Blast and
Phyto.Blast. Also, occasionally blending the foods and using them as soaks for
other foods will give your invertebrates a variety simulating nature. Vary the
time of day for feeding, as well, being sure to feed at night for those
organisms that primarily feed nocturnally. Many corals feed primarily at night,
extending their tentacles and mesenterial filaments, using their nematocysts to
capture prey, and entrapping prey on their sticky tentacles with mucus and
drawing it into their mouths.

Directions:

Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 50 US-gallons (200 L)
of marine aquarium water 2 to 3 times per week. May be used as a food soak or
added to food soak.

Expert use:

Target feeding is the best method of addition. Use a turkey baster,
pipette, or similar tool to release upstream of animals to be fed. Do not touch
corals with tool. Do not insert tool into this bottle, particularly do not
allow aquarium water to enter the bottle, to do so will introduce bacteria into
the product and accelerate its decomposition. Instead, pour appropriate amount
of Ocean Snow into a cup and use the tool in the cup. Feed all that you pour
and do not return any product to the container (again to prevent contamination).

Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. If
ingested drink water. If in eyes flush with water.
