I wondered the same thing, from my understanding it's a live culture of plankton and various other cirtters corals like to eat.

Reefstew is a combination of great things for your reef tank. Different types of planktons, pods and baby brime shrimp. A great treat for your fish and corals. Also with the pods and whatnot it helps a new tank get cycled quicker. Bajabum has a good recipe.

My Reef Stew is an long term algae/zooplankton culture I use to raise saltwater fish fry. The original culture was started from ocean plankton, not a lab monoculture. I reseed it several times each winter to maintain biodiversity. I also use it in my coral systems to maintain a high diversity of zooplankton. I raise fish and other creatures that only eat live plankton. I am currently maitaining 200 gallons in cultures. The zooplankton that resides in it primarily eat algae. The green in the water is algae, the most nutritious food source available.
I hatch my clownfish in it, wait 4 days and add baby brineshrimp. The culture is capable of growing the fry without adding additional food. I currently have 5 baby seahorses, 2 bangahi cardinals and 20 baby clowns in a 10 gallon tank. All I do everyday is add some more baby brineshrimp to replace the big stuff being eaten. Some times I have to remove some of the big stuff that has grown to much. I have a write up here under reef stew.
