Extreme Water Clarity and Cyano Eradication, Made Easy!

[Steve2020]

anyone an idea?

Checked my calcium level this morning after dosing for the first time yesterday and calcium did not change and I wouldn't expect it to since calcium carbonate does not dissolve in water. I believe acids and very low ph water which is acidic will cause it to dissolve which will also dissolve all your hard corals since the skeletons are calcium carbonate.

Ok I just mixed my first 250ml portion and dosed after a 10% WC.

Lets gooooo!

Did you wait the minimum 2hrs after mixing prior to dosing?

yes, I did.. it was kind of exactly 2hrs..
its already clear again tough and looks crystal clear…

Mine cleared up completely in about an hour which really surprised considering how cloudy it was after dosing. Did you notice a difference after it cleared up compared to how the tank looked prior to dosing?

Yeah it took maybe 1hrs to clear.
Everything looked crisp and clean after it cleared.. Somehow even brighter then usual

Dosed at 845 this morning now 615 fish look like they’re floating besides my micro bubbles. This pic with no filters on iPhone. Definitely a huge difference after just one dose.

Bought to buy some calcium carbonate stock .. side note mine got delivered today

As some have stated, depending on where you started with the clarity and what filtration you are using, there will be a wide range of results.

In my setups, the water is as clear as it gets. It will not get any clearer but I continue dosing once per week to maintain the clarity, nutritive acids, keep the film off the water surface and help occupy the sand and rock with bacteria to avoid cyano.

I am pretty sure someone is working to steal this idea and turn it into a gold mine. Give it a different label , slap on a bigger price tag, cha ching to the bank. lol

Just ordered the calicum carbonate on amazon. I'll give it a whirl lol

They already did that...its called Coral Snow.

I guess I dont fully understand how this works...so it is helping the bacteria bind to the rock?

Or is it that it pulls nutrients and waste out of the water as its floating around?

Did mine..cleared in about an hour bit I run carbon so it was already pretty clear. Doing this for a bit of cyano. The water is definately crystal clear. No ill effect on any corals..sps, lps, softies. Ph dropped half a point but maybe just because my return was off for 30 minutes..already back up. Will dose again tomorrow!
Edit: water was much cloudier at first, first 2 pics were about 20 minutes in

Wow. brs has that for $20 for 100ml ? lol

Yep, and $65 a pop for 500ml that cost you pennies on the dollar with this DIY.

Don't blame brs. That is kz

Hi! The solution will leave a fine layer across the glass, rocks and sand. By dosing it with bacteria we allow for said bacteria to colonize surfaces, eating up real estate that may otherwise be occupied by cyano.

Conversely, you could mix in some amino acids with the coral snow and use it to feed corals directly.

Send in the link again, it didn’t work. Just about any calcium carbonate food or lab grade will be fine. Just make sure that it is pure and free of other additives.

I think this is what most of us are using as the op's stuff isn't available. I used it
