Great phyto! I recommend!
Let me know when you have pods available again. Need both phyto and pods
@Eldredge I'm looking to expand my pod population in the tank and feed clams in the future. What blend or strains would you recommend? I am not familiar with their nutrition profile of each strains.
Ooof that makes things a little tricky. I'm going to need to do some reading myself on how clam farmers raise their "crops". I'm sure pods will take anything not too worried about them. Unfortunately my space isn't large so I don't think I want a large array phytoplankton species. The blend sounds good and I was hoping to culture a small number myself for personal use. Got to save some amount of money when I can. I'll be backThat is an excellent question, and I wish I had a better answer... The short answer is the blend I make and use : )
It really depends on the organism. Some only care about size. Some need it to be alive. And some need to have it motile. So, it really depends upon the organisms you are growing. Not all pods have the same needs, and I would assume that is true for clams too (although I don't know for sure).
The reason I started raising several species of phyto was to try to provide the proper food for the widest variety of organisms possible. I assume that on a natural reef many kinds of phyto are present and the organisms that have particular needs feed on the species that provide for those needs. The species that I blend together after culturing separately provide an extremely wide range of sizes, some are motile, and they have differing nutritional profiles.
Years ago, when I researched feeding phyto, I found a lot of conflicting information. This is another reason I started culturing several species. If you want to tailor the phyto species to a particular organism, I would suggest looking at what the professional farmers feed that species if possible. I think you can find information on clams and some of the copepods, but it probably doesn't exist for many organisms.
Dosing any good phyto to your system will be beneficial, and I think that a wide variety of living species is ideal.

If available I'd like to order 32 ounces...
