The concept of Coral Snow has been floating around for awhile and still being used by some of the OGs in the hobby. Dosing a mixture of Calcium Carbonate + RODI water in order to create a flocculant that binds smaller particles together into larger ones so they could be removed by mechanical filtration. I tested this out for 6 weeks, so far water clarity has certainly improved, cyano did go away, and I did have a pretty drastic nutrients drop (not sure if related). Here is the story...

Special thanks to Sunny (@ReefSite) for sharing this awesome recipe, please visit his YT / IG page for more information and reefing knowledge!
DIY Coral Snow recipe per Sunny: 1 teaspoon of Calcium Carbonate per 50g of system volume and mix it with 8 oz of RODI water. Allow to sit for 5 mins before dosing. (please refer to videos for dosing details) This is the basic mixture for water clarity, he has other suggestions for other purposes in his videos.
