I have a pretty much sock 29 corallife biocube. I have recently purchased phytoplankton. I guess my question is how much do I add and how often. What is the drawbacks of to much? And any other inf you think I may need. Thanks for your time.
 
Thanks for the info now I'm on the fence about it, lol. Anyone dose phytoplankton and what does it do to your parameters? And is it worth the trouble?
 
With additives as such your are adding to nutrients to the system which can lead to excess nutrients which can cause issues. These products can be very beneficial to your reef but you have to be careful and monitor your parameters. I find that dosing smaller amounts than the directions on the product is good starting point.
