What should I use?

Is there a website were I can purchase phyto 2?

 

You don't need to feed phyto unless you have Non Photosynthetic corals. There is absolutely no need to put DT's or any other substance like this in your tank. Clams do not eat this stuff as they depend on light for their nutrition. Even ORA recommends not feeding their maricultured clams. I have seen many beautiful clams that were raised on light alone. I would stop using this stuff all together.

 

Obviously I was clueless that you were talking about food and I was thinking it was additives - DOH! I was even impressed with my answer LOL

 

Did you say what you keep, and what you're trying to feed with it?

I"m keeping many corals- healthy too, and I don't feed them anything special.

Just whats in the water column, and fish poop. Oh, I do turn over my big chaeto mass in my sump at night when the LPS tentales are open.

I do spot feed my nems aobut once a week with pellets

What live phyto does for your tank is feed any filter feeders (mollusks, etc), but the REAL benefit is that is feeds zooplankton (pods, rotifers, etc), and zooplankton is really what your corals feed on.

It also benefits the tank by feeding on ammonia and nitrates while it's still in the water column.

Is it NECESSARY? No, is it a benefit? Yes, IMHO. It's all how you want to keep your tank.

Todd,

I used to shake out the chaeto in my DT when I pruned it...same idea in getting the pods out of it.
