PNS YelloSno™

PNS YelloSno™ significantly enhances the diet of corals and other filter-feeders by simulating a marine snowfall. Even while supporting growth/development with protein and vitamins, promoting intense coloration with carotenoids and enhancing immunity to disease as a probiotic, this unique product remediates aquarium water by efficiently sequestering dissolved nitrogenous and organic compounds.

More About

What does PNS YelloSno™ do?

The water columns of marine environments--even the relatively clear waters over tropical coral reefs--can become littered with tiny bits of suspended organic matter. On reefs, this material may wash in from adjacent habitats or accumulate locally from animal feces, expelled coral mucus, copepod exoskeletons, etc. While not particularly wholesome by themselves, these particulates are nutritionally enriched as they are colonized by various types of heterotrophic bacteria. Particles consolidate as the musilage secreted by resident microbes causes them to become sticky; this reduces their buoyancy and causes them to slowly sink. Such aggregations are referred to as marine snow. Suspended and settled marine snow is an important food source for filter-feeders and detritivores respectively. Purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB), which are highly digestible and nutritious, are known to be commonly associated with marine snow. Composed of an all-natural chitin substrate that mimics copepod exoskeleton fragments and coated with PNSB, Hydrospace™ PNS YelloSno™ effectively simulates a marine snowfall. With a wide particle size range, this product may be captured and consumed by a large variety of suspension-feeding animals (e.g. corals). It is rich in protein, vitamins and color-enhancing carotenoids. A proven probiotic, it has been used increasingly to prevent disease in highly intensive aquacultural operations. It is especially beneficial for stony corals with which it has recently been identified as an important "holobiont" partner due to its ability to fix nitrogen. Due to its aggressive uptake of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and dissolved organics, repeated feedings of PNS YelloSno™ actually clean the aquarium water rather than pollute it! PNS YelloSno™ is specially formulated for use in saltwater aquaria. And, it is completely safe, non-toxic and non-pathogenic. PNSB may vary in color from yellow to red to purple depending upon pigment content, which is determined by environmental and dietary factors; product color may vary from yellow to rusty orange.

The most significant benefits of PNS YelloSno™ are as follows:

It has an extensive shelf life (when refrigerated, which halts bioactivity).
It is easily measured and dosed.
It naturally and safely removes dissolved organic matter.
It reduces the need for water changes and prolongs the life of chemical filtrants.
It removes harmful ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.
It is an extremely nutritious food for many aquarium filter-feeders and detritivores.
Its probiotic properties can reduce the incidence of disease in diverse aquarium species.

Directions and Usage for PNS YelloSno™:

Shake the bottle thoroughly for fine particle sizes or lightly for larger particle sizes. Pour small amount (approximately one capful per 50 gal) directly into the main tank in an area of high flow to prime animals for feeding (preferably just after lights-out). Once corals and other suspension feeders have exhibited a feeding response, continue to add small portions in short intervals as desired. Turn off UV sterilizers for 24 hours. While certain strong, natural odors may become evident, they are normal and dissipate shortly after use. Keep refrigerated at all times! Dosage: Add up to 16 fluid ounces PNS YelloSno™ per 400 US gallons per feeding session. As with all foods, it is best used sparingly to avoid spikes in dissolved nutrient concentration. If used with PNS Probio™, apply alternately rather than on the same days. Use weekly when included as part of a regular feeding regimen.

What is a Planted Marine Aquarium?

The cultivation of saltwater plants is nothing new. It has been fairly common for hobbyists to keep marine “plants” (more often macroalgae than true vascular plants) since the 1980s. Even so, we’ve seen very few aquarium systems that are built and maintained primarily for the display of marine flora. Indeed, to date, the vast majority …
