Phyto

[Broken reefer]

Everyday before lights come on I dose 10ml of live phyto and 10ml when lights are about to go off. My question is should I increase the dosage as time goes on. It's a 90 gal tank. Thanks in advance.

Do you have many inhabitants that feed on phyto?

I dose 10ml in the morning and the evening for my pods.since I started live phyto feedings my water clarity and pretty much everything has improved. Should I not be dosing ?

My amphipods has increased drastically in my tank and I dose my culture of rotifers with phyto twice a day. The rotifer culture is completely seperate.

I used to dose phytoplankton but haven’t in a year or so. For me I didn’t notice a huge effect regardless of the amount I dosed

I'm still experimenting with it. I definitely have had an explosion in my amphipods population.

I dose 20 to 40 ml or more daily in a 20 gallon. I have a derasa clam and two flame scallop.
