Let me throw out an idea. Some dinoflagellates split at a particular time of day, you can see the ostreopsis cells dividing most around 9pm almost none at other times during day. If there is a cycle with a time for mass cell division, then there ought to also be a nutrient uptake cycle (unlikely to be pulling in nutrients super fast while trying to cut yourself in half and shed armor.)
Do common phyto (nanno, tet, t-iso) have a division time and a max nutrient acquisition time? Can we sync our skimmer to it to allow phyto to stay in water during peak nutrient uptake hours, and skim out during cell division time?
