I have some questions regarding phyto species suitable for broadcast feeding of an azoox tank and would appreciate some input from those who've used phyto :thumbsup:
In Australia, we don't have access to much in the way of fresh stuff but there is one supplier of reed mariculture phyto's however the 1 quart bottles are the smallest we can get and they have on average a 3-4 month use-by which is too short for my purposes.
I am obviously interested in shellfish diet but it can't be frozen which is the issue so I am thinking of possibly looking into a single species which can be frozen to prolong its useable life but am worried that I will not provide enough balance with a single species product but am currently thinking Tetraselmis or Nanno.
would there be any downsides going to a single species phyto culture or would I be better purchasing shellfish diet and freezing half the bottle and risking cell structure damage?
I am using it in the tank for dendronephtya, coco worms etc and live food enrichment (rots & artemia)
