How big is your tank?Depends on what you are using it for, In my tank I need around a gallon/week
Gotcha, what filter feeders are you keeping?I’m using it mainly to boost pod populations and support filter feeders (to some extent).

55 with a 20 gallon sumpHow big is your tank
I didn't know there was a controversy, mine have been eating phyto for the past 4/5 monthsI know there’s some argument to if they consume phyto though
Good info. I've heard algaebarn say to dose around 5ml per 20 gallons, and then "slowly increase as your tank needs it." but I think you're on the ball here. I dozed around what you said, a capful for 20-25 gallons for about a month and then increased it to around 15ml a day.. green hair algae bloom. I did what algaebarn said, to increase phyto to help combat the hair algae, and low and behold it got worse. I decreased back to the 5ml (1 capful) daily and it's receding, and my pod count is still where it should be, my dragonet is fat.I use Area 51 Phyto and feed 1 cap a day, 1 cap per 25 gallons.

20 gallon nanoHow big is your tank?
How long would you say it took to work your way up to 5ml? I've been dosing for like a week and so far I'm only doing 20 drops for 30 gallons, started at 15.20 gallon nano
I would honestly just do it. 5ml for 30 is fine. But more than that + feeding heavy will def cause a buildup of algaeHow long would you say it took to work your way up to 5ml? I've been dosing for like a week and so far I'm only doing 20 drops for 30 gallons, started at 15.
Right on, thanksI would honestly just do it. 5ml for 30 is fine. But more than that + feeding heavy will def cause a buildup of algae
You can broadcast feed Phyto by the return pump or put it in your sump/RefugiumMy question for dosing, is do you just put it in the water or do you need to squirt the corals with a Pipete?
