Hi I was a cultivator of phytoplankton years ago and I have experimented with it for the control of nitrate and phosphate and wanted to know if it is worth continuing my experimentation?
My set up was a 20G long with kenya trees and soft coral loaded to the max with coral, I was up to 1 cup a day of phyto and never had to scrap the glass and had sparkling clear water.
Is it worth more experimentation or is it a waste of time?
My main goal is to sell phytoplankton eventually and to prove that it works not only as food for coral,copepods.sponges,clams etc,dustfeathers,worms etc. But that one can achieve a very healthy flourishing diverse reef setup using it while keeping nitrate/phosphate/ammonia,chlorine, metals etc under control with sparkling clear water. It also has the effect of competing with other algaes so they will be in control
