I know some of you have experimented with it. I wouldn't mind finding out what sort of results you came up with. I'm interested in the subject myself.
Recently i've been dumping brine shimp eggs straight into my scrubber bucket. I've read and this could possibly not be great idea but i'm going with it for now. The water flow saturates them(so they don't all float up to the top) and carries them into the system. They circulate FOREVER they are so light and tiny. My clowns and smaller fish are munching on the eggs and hatched shrimp in excess of 24hrs later as long as you don't mind a minor uptick in fine particulate in the water. From what I've been gathering this might more closely mimic the low nutrient high volume feeding you'd see in a normal reef...small fish wise anyway.
I'm just breaking into coral so I'm not exactly sure what to add to the "marine snow" for zoa's and such aside from trace elements.
Any information or results anyone has would be appreciated as I work on my own project here.
