Just wanted to check in- I was super excited to try this Coral Snow, specifically to hopefully clear up all the loose sediment that is in my water column. I found a 94% food grade Calcium Carbonate on Amazon and have mixed 1/4 tsp with 8ml RODI to dose into my 32g BioCube. I've used my biocube protein skimmer (not the best skimmer, but it kind of works) and a super fine mechinical filtration pad while dose twice over the last three days.

I'm still seeing plenty of loose sediment within my water column. Everyone else seems to have amazing results, so just wondering if anyone else had my experience and what solved it?

Thanks
Same for me. I’ve dosed twice, a week apart. Maybe some improved clarity, but there’s still a ton of particles floating around.

Yea. I’m hoping someone here can shed some light because I would love to be able to reduce the sediment

My question with this method is what happens eventually to the calcium cargonate? Does it just keep accumulating and add to the inert stuff that we keep blowing off the rocks? My water is already very clear but I'm fighting a cyano outbreak and was thinking about trying this but my reef is 19 years old and already has too much stuff that gets blown around when I try to blow it off before a water change. I'd hate to just add to it.
