Marine Snow

[mellanby]

I have a 24 gallon nano cube, still have not gotten any fish yet, although water params have been stable for 2 weeks now.

My clean up crew (2 red leg hermits, 2 blue leg hermits, 4 emerald crabs, 1 peppermint shrimp, 5 snails) have done a great job cleaning up the tank,(20 lbs of live rock, 20 lbs of live sand). There is no visible algae on the rocks or the sides of the tank, and I'm wondering if it could be possible that they will not have enough to eat?

I have been reading about Marine Snow, and wanted to know if anyone had used it? I probably will be getting a fish or two this weekend, along with fish food, but until then I don't want my little guys to starve! What about dropping in some raw shrimp pieces??

Thanks.

I use Marine Snow as well as Micro-Vert, Chromaplex & Phytoplex to feed my sponges and other filterfeeders which are all well and good but no real substitue for live foods and live phyto if you can get it.
