    In what form do you feed phytoplankton? Dry, liquid?

    I feed my tank Rod's Food it contains alot of stuff, from plankton, shrimp, squid, and all kinds of other great stuff. My fish love it and it has helped I believe my corals a lot they really seemed to open up after I started using it.

    Kent doesn't sell any live phyto....Only Dennis Tagrin (DT's) or Randy Reed (Phyto Feast live) do. Anything from Kent is dead.

    Not that it matters much.....very few corals directly ingest phyto.....most corals are carnivores and not vegetarians. ;D With that said, phyto does feed many other species that spawn, and their spawn is good coral food.

    That's only partially correct. There is also Phyto02 and Algegen producing live phyto sold via LFS's.

    I feed my Alveopora (flower pot) and open brain cyclopezee. Then feed my tongue coral brine and mysis sometimes. They all seem to love it they are growing nicely and have opened up more since I brought them home.
