In a coral grow out system is it worth adding copepods roti and phyto to a 500gal system?

Not talking about the fish.

Just curious if it will help coral growth and health enough to justify seeding the system . Was considering a bulk buy on some of these . Any companies sell in bulk or do i juat buy multipul small batches

I’ve wondered the same. I’ve seen several threads on here where people are cultivating their own phyto and wondered if it’s really worth it. Following.

I think phyto would be beneficial. As for rotis and pods, I might add them. It never hurts and I add them to my system regularly.
