Can you elaborate a bit on what is in this product?
Thanks in advance

Based on the website for Reef Snow it appears to be a finely ground, phytoplankton based food.

But on this page it calls it a "'glue' to create food particles".

So it sounds like you use it to mix phytoplankton and zooplankton together to make larger particles for your corals/fish/invertebrates to feed on.

Ingredients list Algae. I don’t think TM Reef Snow is like Zeovit Coral Snow?

Tropic Marin Reef Snow is a mix of algal polysaccharides that form a somewhat viscous liquid to mix the actual foodstuff like Phyton or Zooton in to get coarser particles from the powder food.

When the mix is injected or poured into saltwater with for example a pipette or a syringe, it forms finer or coarser particles or even a kind of "worms", depending on the concentration of the Reef Snow solution and how you inject it in the water.

Coarser Reef Snow food-particles or "worms" are also a good food for fish.

@Hans-Werner or @Lou Ekus do either of y'all know when/where the zooton/zootonic/phytonic will be available again? It seems like I am having a hard time sourcing a lot of the food/ additives on many online retailers. Do you have a good source? I'd also like to try the O-Megavital micro

Thank you for your assistance!
