Hey all! The amount of sea sponges in my aquarium is set to increase, thus I worry about competition over food. The sea sponges in my tanks are just consuming the micro-planktons, silicates, and diatoms, but is it possible these will deplete? Should I start supplemeting food? For those who keep sponges, are there any live feeds for sponges you recommend? I've heard of a few, but I'm not sure if they're right for me just yet.
Also, is there a way to see how many silicates or planktonic organisms are living in my tank? Or is it simply a matter of if my sponges are healthy? My sponges have been very healthy as of late, but I believe it is because I had a recent diatom bloom in the tank, therefore increasing the silicate content. I currently am only dosing phytoplankton.
