Marc Weiss ReefBugs
Replicating reef snow is now quick and easy with these revolutionary new products! ReefBugs are actual living microbes that will inspire your corals to extend their polyps and have your scallops and feather dusters reaching out for a taste! ReefBugs contain twelve strains of edible, non-pathogenic microbes in their encysted spore state.
Packed with a mixture of nutrients including minerals, vitamins, and carbohydrates, these microbes will hatch in about 30 minutes from when they hit the water. The additional particles act as "carriers" for the microbes to "ride on" once they have hatched. If not eaten, they will begin to divide, supplying your reef with a medium where they can consume detritus and excess food. Also works in your refugium!
Instructions:
Amount added to aquarium depends on bio-load, how long the system has been operating, the state of cycling, etc.
One teaspoon (approximately 1.5 grams) or more per day could be consumed per 100 gallons in an established, well-stocked reef aquarium.
Start more conservatively; a 0.5 teaspoon once per day (or every other day per 100 gallons).
Take a cup of aquarium water, mix in the quantity of dry Reef Bugs needed and stir.
Stir again after about 10 minutes and stir again after about 20 minutes.
Try to dissolve as throughly as possible to aid hatching and particle aggregation.
Stir again at 30 minutes and pour into aquarium.
All may not be dissolved. It will dissolve in the aquarium and be utilized.
Through the times given are approximate; do try to leave the mixture in the cup for the full 30 minutes before pouring into the aquarium.
Alternatively...just sprinkle into the aquarium. It will take at least 30 minutes for dissolution, which may not be complete.
Particles may be eaten by fish or some other non-target organisms.
It is harmless to fishes and other marine life.
You may wish to try some dry and some that has been soaked.
