marine snow is not a very good "food"......I just feed my tank good nutritious foods....and the corals get some of it too

im working on that fish. I have no money now though. i spent it all on the corals and the food. I have tons of copepods so the red head blenny ought to be right at home when i get him

Sorry....I skipped right over the dip question.....Use Lugols (made by Kent)......follow the directions on the bottle.....

I don't know about dipping..but if you want to feed your tank don't use marine snow hyped up junk!! Either use DT's or live phytoplankton..Marine snow you have to turn your protein skimmer off for an hour or so otherwise not effective..Never did anything for my corals..DT's and Live Phyotplankton corals popped...all a learning process..do some research..

the thing is i don't have a protien skimmer, its a 3 gallon tank. it has a HOB filter and all i do is unplug it for 1-2 hours.
