Erm, did you refridgerate the marine snow? Its suppose to be refridgerated after opening.

Eh .. arent aqua marine at jalan kayu?

Erm, i don't normally target feed my corals....i just pour the stated amount in front of my powerhead and let the flow bring the food around the tank. I don't think you need to feed as much as is stated on the bottle cause normally corals will be taking in leftover food and all the minute stuff from your water column. Not really necessary to feed them too much. I've heard some reefers mentioning that they dun even feed their corals at all. Oh, its better to off your protein skimmer for an hour or so after you pour in the marine snow.

Erm, feeding during lights off will not encourage algae growth? Anyway, all fish food and coral food smells funny to me. You should try smelling garlic guard...will faint!
