Continuum Ocean Snow is a reef supplement that provides a rich source of 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.

Ocean Snow replicates the natural process of marine snow, which is a continuous shower of organic and inorganic particles that falls from the photic zone near the surface towards the ocean floor.
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.
This process provides a vital source of nutrients for many marine organisms, and Continuum Ocean Snow helps to recreate this process in your reef aquarium.

Ocean Snow is made with a blend of aragonite based inorganic minerals, as well as rich marine proteins and lipids.
These nutrients are essential for coral growth and health, and they also help to support a diverse community of filter feeding invertebrates.

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, MicroBlast, ZooBlast and PhytoBlast.
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 mesentarial filaments, using their nematocysts to capture prey, and entrapping prey on their sticky tentacles with mucus and drawing it into their mouths.

Directions and protocol:
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 (to prevent contamination).

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

Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 200 L of marine aquarium water 2 to 3 times per week.
