Good Morning.Looking at the titanic ppd buffet extreme
Phyto buffet extreme
Amphipods
What size for the first two for a 180 gallon display 220 system total and how many amphipods do you recommend?
Thank you
I generally recommend a gallon of pods for a tank up to 225 gallon. With the extreme being double density you could do a 1/2, or really jump start with a gallon.
For the phyto, I recommend 1-3 ml per gallon of actual system volume (system size minus displacement for rock work, equipment etc) with the extreme .5-1.5 ml. A gallon will do 37-38 days at 100 ml per day as a reference.
For amphipods, partially depends on whether you have any fish that are going to prey on them heavily. Most fish that can get them in their mouth will eat them, but if you have a melanarus wrasse or similar hunters you may want to go heavier or at least add some or all to a refugium if you have one. They reproduce really well, so 200 would be a good start for most tanks your size.
