New take on dosing phyto

[Subsea]

I have a 2L Tetraselmis phytoplankton culture that doubles every four days. At present it goes into a 5G bucket of Apocalypse Copepods. In addittion to air bubbler this zooplankton culture is illuminated for 16hrs with 40W led grow light. It was my intention to continue growing phytoplankton as Copepods were consuming phyto. Also in 5G bucket is Red Grapes & Feather Caulerpa. When pod density in 5G bucket is self sustaining, I will add pods to a diy pod generator.

I was dosing phyto and switched to easyreefs booster and saw the same results personally, good idea but too much work for me personally as somebody who is always traveling for work. Watching the thread to see where it goes

Do you dose “easy reefs“ booster manually or automatic?

Automatic, same for SPS Evo

Do you have a thread that describes your dosing system? Is the dosing solution refrigerated?

I dose roughly 32ozs of tetraselmis phyto that I home brew every night 1 hr before lights out

NO3 stays around 5-10

I use to struggle with algae and GHA like everyone else that posts this problem 10,000,000,000,000 on these forums

Took about 2-3mos but my nightly tetraselmis phyto dosing started outcompeting all algae

I have NOT seen any algae (past glass film) in over a year.... and I feed heavy bc im mostly zoas/palys

Do you run UV?
What type of system do you use to culture phyto?
