Coral Snow w/ Carbon sources?

[Devisissy]

I have an outbreak of vertimid snails and they are damaging my corals. I was going to give Coral Snow a chance. However, I run carbon in a reactor, and I dose Reef Fuel daily. Knowing what is basically in Coral Snow I don't see an issue, but I thought it wise to ask others as I am not positive.

Coral snow, do you mean marine snow by two little fishies ?

No. I mean Coral Snow by Korallen Zuccht.

Coral Snow eliminated my vermited snails. I always turned my carbon reactor off until the water cleared up, about 4 hours. It is a slow process. You will need to dose every day and give it a few months.

Broadcast some reef roids to trigger the vermitid snails to release their mucus, then add some snow several minutes later. You'll see the snow cling to their snot trails. This also makes it easier to find them all. I used this time to inject super glue gell in their tubes which dramatically speeds up the death rate.

It's been three weeks now. I did not take remove carbon (Charcoal) or stop dosing Reef Fuel. The skimmer cup seems to remove a ton of this chalk as I have to clean it daily now. I noticed much fewer mucus trails now. Not sure they are dead, but obviously bothered some. I feed the tank BRS phyto then after a few minutes dose the Coral Snow. I do this before lights on. I noticed my chili coral can come out of his hidey hole now as the snails around his cave entrance was preventing that coral from expanding at night, and my zoas actually open now. Excited to see what happens in a few more weeks.
