are they mainly for fresh water? can they be cultured for salt water and adapt to salt water conditions? sorry I heard of them but never learned about them.blackworms
Phytoplankton imo will contain a slight amount if any P/N depending on how it is cultured and when it is finished being cultured will tell you how pure it is. If it is dosed in large amounts, the phyto act like macro algae, consuming P/N like macro consumes inorganics. It does this by slightly growing for a few hours or so within the aqaurium when dosed and waiting to be consumed. When dosed in large amounts your water will turn green for a few hours then remain crystal clear afterwards once the phyto is consumed by the massive amounts of sponges and coral and critters in the reef.
If anyone trys this, make sure you have activated carbon running only because that is what I used. I use carbon mainly because I use tap water which has chlorine in it.
i'm going to assume that ammonia is yellow and that ammonia is consumed by the algae which this should contribute to a clear tank after the phyto clears up or sticks to surfaces?
Considering this works and that a person can use 150ppm water, no skimmer, no macro algae, no ATS, no phophate remover,and you will have an increase in coral/sponges/copepods etc what would you pay for a 2L bottle of this considering you have to dose 1 to 5 cups per 100G?
Maybe no carbon too.
Take skimmers for example, they take out organics (fish poop) before they turn into inorganics (phosphate/nitrate), coral and sponges do the same.
