Thanks Drew. Really appreciate your kind words bro. People underestimate the work involved getting a good culture and the benefit that phytoplankton has in the overall eco system in their tanks. If you are feeding this stuff to your tank, you will definitely notice a difference (and I am not just saying that because I sell it either ;)).

Some people fear that adding phyto to their tank adds nutrients, etc, etc, but I personally add like a cup a day to my tank and absolutely do not have any issues with nutrients whatsoever. Heck I need to feed more food to my fish to get more nutrients, :). If the phyto is cultured properly, but you have a nutrient issue, the problem isn't the phyto. o_O
Well I love your product and I can already see positive reactions so I'll definitely be purchasing more

Just an FYI for those monitoring this thread, I'll be shipping out all orders from this weekend promptly tomorrow. Those that have purchased some I will send you a message directly to let you know that it has been dropped off for delivery and monitor the shipment to make sure that it is on track.

I dose 5ml on my 40g breeder DT and on my sump and I have a pods all over the tank. I turn the return pump off when I dose. I see a good improvement on corals and pods.

Really not a science to how much you dose. Just like feeding Reef Roids and stuff like that, it all depends on the size of your tank and if you want to spot or target feed. What size is your tank?

Glad your corals are liking the phyto @spyder813. I know for sure that my LPS, zoas, sponges, softies are loving it. I also think it helps out my SPS too (even though rumor has it that phytoplankton doesn't do anything for SPS ;)). The ricordea in my tank is absolutely insane and my duncan looks like a freaking anemone, :D

I would feed no less than 50ml to the 120 for sure and around 30ml to the 70. You will see the reaction to your coral and adjust how you see fit honestly. I feed way more than that and have no ill affects in my 240. No nutrient issues to speak of either.
