Curious if anyone has ever actually tracked how nutrient levels are affected by dosing live phytoplankton into their aquariums. Assuming a protein skimmer actually removes phytoplankton, and that there is nutrient uptake to some degree as it grows in the aquarium, it would seem conceptually that it would not add significantly to nutrient levels.
Yes I am aware that there are many claims that it can help manage nutrient levels, but I am skeptical of how much a relatively small amount of phytoplankton would actually help, more curious if it hurts.
