K&P Phytoplankton
We recommend starting off with a small amount and work up to a larger amount dosed while testing nitrates and phosphates to see whether they rise, fall or remain stable. Dosage depends on tank size, filtration and tank inhabitants.
To increase pod populations dose phyto at night as lights turn off and during the day for coral feeding. But phyto will continue to benefit the tank for both pods and coral no matter the time of day. Repetition and consistency for feeding is best!
