DIY KZ Coral Snow (with >97% purity)

[LadyMac]

Savin for lata!

I think I will order some when I can and try to dose as well.

Anyone have experience using this for cyano?

I have used Cyanoclean by KZ and I must say in 10 days it was gone. Now I dose it twice a week.

 

[Ponraj A]

I thin

I think it is suppose to read for a start use .5mls per 100 litres
It is 3.785 litres per gallon

Yes i got it what you mean, I have calculated the total dosing to his tank as 5ml. Sorry for the confusion from my side. I hope you don't mind.

Been using it for 3 weeks 1x a week, and I’m liking the results, no Ill effects and doesn’t affect my skimmer. I’m just wondering how much more quickly it’s clogging my filter socks? I noticed my socks clogging approximately 1 day early after dosing. Anyone experiencing the same?

Any harm in by passing the mixing with RO/DI and just dumping it right above the return pump? I found I make much less of a mess when I do it this way...

Ive been using this for two days and never seen the water so clear before. I would like to know what happens with the powder in the water? Does it go to the sand? Do corals consume some?

It should just make all the tiny particles large enough to be filtered out by your filter socks, floss and skimmer

Don't know if this mistake made any difference but I mixed mine with tap water added 5 ml to my 140 DT and my tank clouded up for days created a slime on my filter socks and didn't full clear for a week.I was tempted to use another product to clear the tank but waited it out with water changes and mechanical filtration

 

[CNDReef]

what product did you use for the calcium?

This

It could be some impurities in it that caused the cloudiness. The one linked originally is 97% pure 1 lb Food Grade 97+% Calcium Carbonate from Ground Limestone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00959XKGI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Y8KxBb06A9D94

I’ve though about trying this for a while. Is there any benefit to corals or filter feeders? Does it provide any “food” that they could consume?

Awesome, want to get rid of vermi snail pest

 

[Zekth]

Using it for more than 4 months. Very happy with the results. Sometimes i got light white slime in the skimmer cup. Does someone experience this too?

 

[drtrash]

Did my first snow treatment last night, what a cloud it produced. I would assume you should take any carbon reactor off line till it clears

I would assume you should take any carbon reactor off line till it clears

That's the point of this method.

Interesting read.
Is this any different then the pelletized lime found in Homedepot?
sds sheet says 99% pure?

Same. 5 tablespoons to 230ml of water and dose 5ml 2x week?

1lb bag will last a long time
