i have been trying to culture tiggerpods, i've been feeding it reef nutrition phyto feast, the water has gone dark green, beyond what i added, and i've not been dosing phyto since it happened, its been a week or two and its still dark green and heading toward pea soup. the tiggers are still alive. did i accidentally create a culture? any harm in dosing it to my main tank?
