So many pedestrians so little time
I can see why. I'm a sucker for nice leathers.

@twentyleagues does that snow raise calcium?

No. It is not soluble in our ph levels. There is a possibility it can negatively effect some elements. I have not seen any issues though.

i like snow (for the tank). It is scary at first, dumping something like that in the tank but i havent had any negative affects. I have done with and with out the bacteria added. I would go on A->Z to grab it cheaper then the "tank branded" stuff. scuttles off to go find a pix.

It is a little scary at first. But I have followed Sunnyx and his tanks for years and since I learned of this from him I was not even a little worried.i like snow (for the tank).

I did the same bought a big bottle of food grade stuff from the same place like $15. I premix a batch 500ml. Shake the bottle and dump some in weekly. If I use the recipe I will measure it out in to a graduated cylinder add the ingredients wait 10-15 min and dump it in.

Mine were fine didnt even seem to notice. Fish still swimming around. My tang may go behind his rock until it clears a little but the scissor tails are out in it and so is the Timor wrasse, Of coarse the assessor is no where to be found but thats normal I get one glimpse every other week.
I dont think it matters when, might be a personal preference type thing. I scrape the glass, blow off the rocks and do the snow. Typically on sundays thats my maintenance day. The only thing thats not great is rest of the day its a little hazy maybe 4-6 hrs anyway.

I've never noticed any of my fish being affected by it. With that said, I dose at lights out or as I'm leaving for work typically but only because it takes 2-3 hours to clear up.

Just snowed the tank myself. Everyone is fine. Fish and coral. I did mine then let sit for 15 min with powerheads on. Then turned on return and skimmer.

I did it in my hob tank, it was fine with a little filter floss in the hob to catch particles.

better for them at night I think. Better for you during the day.
Its pretty fun seeing them wonder what is going on, then panic and then find their sleeping spots. Timmy chattered up a storm when I first did it.
