The use of Phyto

[david540i]

I was just wondering how many people out there in this club dose their tanks with phyto (Home grown or DT's).

Reason I ask is that I ran out of phyto about a year ago and didn't purchase any more due to price of DT's. Its been a long time now and my tanks been doing great without it. Even better now then ever almost! (fingers crossed)

But what are REALLY the pros and cons of using Phyto other then our human need to dose

One thing that learned during the presentation during the meeting was that it provides a source for the pods to eat.

I am going to try the method with the fetilizer from florida aqua farms. Way I look at it it is a very inexspensive way to feed corals and pods

David.. I use it in my tank but just for feeding the pods. I just give them a couple of capfulls in the refugium and a couple in the main tank usually twice a week. I also feed them copepods once a week...
