I have a 40b and starting to dose phytoplankton mostly for my pods that feed my Mandarin. How much should I be dosing? NO3 are at 0 NO4 are at .00 I'm working on getting them up a little.
 
There is no simple answer as each tank has different demands and a dosing amount that would work for one will not for another.
Best you can do it start with what is recommended on the bottle and test as you go along to see if your attempt to increase your levels are producing the desired effect.
That way it's more of an excepted outcome and not a guessing game but, live phytoplankton being that it's live, will not increase levels until consumed and excreted by other organisms.
