    I was just wondering everyone opinion on how often I should be dosing my tank with zooplankton? I have a 20g tall with feather dusters, colt coral, shrooms, lots of polyps, torch corals,leathers etc.

    I currently do a small capfull every 2 days or so.

    What do you guys think???

    I have recently seen a small increase in cyano on my cc bottom. I readjusted the current and it hasnt gotten any worse.

    If you are having problems with nuisance algae, then I would reduce the dose or the frequency. I feed my 55 some sort of invert food every other day, but I have a phosphate reactor running and only dose a small amount.
