Thig general guide would generally be helpful! in general I chose to cross my fingers and dump some really old phyto from the fridge.
Used to work in an aquaculture facility and we would culture our own algae to feed clams... wonder if I could start a small culture for my corals!
Should probably include how critical this stuff is for young clams
Love the ability to move the corals to higher and lower light using that PVC structure
I love getting new fish but always worry about shipping them and having to deal with DOA and fish stress associated with the trip
I want to try connecting a phyto source to a dosing pump and adding small amounts throughout the day
There has been a lot of positive info on pods lately. I think we are discovering how important these guys that usually just appear out of nowhere are

Nice to know they have considered FO vs Reef systems in their charting although I'd probably start with less just to be sure I wasn't going to spike any of my nutrient levels

Thanks so much to @TopShelfAquatics for
I've never tried a Moorish Idol, not sure it's something I'd feel comfortable doing till there was a consistent success story from the community
The small doses more often makes sense. Giving our corals and reef inhabitants frequent smaller doses of everything else makes sense. Feeding copepods and such one large meal daily seems like it would be less effective than feeding them 3 or 4 regular meals daily.
Love the system but it's not for me, I'm more of a DIY'er with a makeshift sump and busted up parts and projects all over the place lol
