what is the food DT is talking about feeding? is that a brand name or is it a type? where can you get it? is that one of those foods that must be refrigerated? thanks
"DT" is a name brand so to speak for live phytoplankton. You can buy it at marine depot and probably from your lfs. Since it is a "live" product it does have to stay refrigerated.

Because the phyto has to refrigerated, it also has to be shipped "Overnight or Next day" - expensive. I would try to find it locally if at all possible. You generally won't use too much too fast. Get a bottle size you can use up in a month or so. And most importantly, be sure to check for an expiration date.
And while this product does feed some creatures - it doesn't feed most fish, many corals ... like anything in the hobby - be sure you need it before you're sold on it.

BTW, I believe the abbreviation DT is the owners initials, Dave (or Dan) Tarragen or something like that. I met him at a seminar in Michigan and mentioned that I wanted to start culturing my own phytoplankton. He told me it was a bad idea. Go figure huh!?! I used to brew my own phtyo to feed to my cultured rotifers. Worked great and always had at least (4) 2 litre bottles of extra phyto to give to friends and such.
Soft corals eat it up. I used to put a capful into my 75g system once a week. I see there are some people that dose it daily. It's a very small type pf plankton, hence the name of course.
