Yes. But adding sufficient CO2 when pods are present is hard, as the pods don't like a lot of flow.If phyto is single cell algae then that needs nutrients and CO2 to flourish. F/2 is the industry standard formula for giving single cell algae what it needs to grow. Can be sourced from Amazon and Ebay. There are also predators that contaminate the solution and consume the algae. Unavoidable in a hobby setup and why best to keep a source refrigerated for eventual crashes.
Two seperate systems to maintain. Only way I've found to keep single cell algae alive is with lots of nutrients and CO2. Absent of CO2 it will take carbon from your hardness and crash your alkalinity causing PH drops.
I'm old and still trying to adjust to the new terminology. We just called it green water.
Phyto is easy enough, but pods is giving my trouble. Also, I'm not sure phyto can use carbonate/bicarbonate as a carbon source, but that is another discussion.
