according to the source who did the analysis it is 100% water (rounded off
99.9)  Also, I do not think they have changed the stuff, just took off the
ingredients list and the false analysis of the stuff.  Even if they have
changed it, it is dead phytoplankton, which mainly pollutes your water.  Try
the refrigerated DT's LIVE phytoplankton, this is a whole lot better for
your corals and water chemistry.

Shane, probably they have already changed the composition of snow, because i
thought it was a liquid like water, even do i haven�t opened the bottle yet,
it feels and sounds like a really thick liquid, like a very concentrated
soup or honey.
I will feed my corals tonight so my moon is open and let you know the
results. Any way it is supposed i should add 20 miligrams of this product,
but due to my really low coral population i will only add half the dose.
Anyway you�re right, something is much better than nothing.
Thanks for the feedback
Marco

>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
