>From what I had read on the product, it did have beneficial organisms, but
that the problem with it was the product was almost all water. The
percentage of of organisms was so low that the "snow" would have minimal,
beneifits when added. This was a scientific diagnosis that was done against
other products as well using microscopes and such. Now, this was when the
product first came out, and that may have changed, but do to the findings, I
never used it. I stuck with DTS (although this is probably mostly water as
well), as well as depending on the fine particulates from the food I feed my
fish (I actually see some of my SPS closing up when they capture this after
I feed).
Bottom line is that something is much much better than nothing when if
comes to feeding your corals, whether it is Marine Snow, Mush or whatever.
If they will consume it, it will help.
FWIW/IMO
