What exactly IS the coral snow?

That's the million dollar question

For all intents and purposes, it's miracle juice, haha.

Well all I know is that right now I need the miracle juice!

I don't have time to go grab the coral snow now but I will get some this weekend and see what it does.

Coral snow has never done anything significant for me. Turns your tank milky white for a few hours...by the time it clears, you're happy that the tank looks better!

I cleared out the cyano this morning and just came home to find it back but about twice as much!

This really sucks...

I wonder if it does have a lot to do with my very high bio load?

Manual removal of cyano is utterly futile.

I ran Red Slime Remover when on Zeo and it kicked the cyano once and for all. I was all jittery about doing that while on Zeo but it worked out fine in the end. FWIW I ran Coral Snow like no tomorrow and followed the Zeo instructions on page 23 or whatever and all it accomplished was I used up more Coral Snow and Zeobak than otherwise. Didn't touch the cyano in the least.

The cyano never came back after that treatment.

FWIW/HTH/IME/etc.
