Feeding Phyto'

F

Frogspawn

I am getting ready to start culturing phyto'. I am wondering about the possibilities when I start feeding it though. The few times I have fed DT's I ended up wiping it off the glass twice a day for a week! Is this what I can also expect everytime I feed LIVE phyto vs. DT's?
 
DT's IS live phyto (Unless it's gone bad)... The home brew stuff is the same stuff, only DT's is a blend of 3 (I think it's three) different kinds of live microalgae and is many times more concentrated than the home grown stuff is...

(The home grown stuff is generally just 1 species of micro algae)...

If you're seeing an algae bloom after dosing phyto (homegrown or store bought) then IMHO you're dosing too much, just need to cut back on the dosing amount...
 
My dosing was about one tablespoon in 215g, every 3 or 4 days. I quit feeding when the algae bloom started. I guess the tank just isn't ready for much of it yet even with several immature corals. The tank is only 3 months old now.

Thanks
 
I feed my tank's 1/4 cup every other day!

My tanks are doing great! My coral look very healthy!

I grow my own phyto!
