perfect timing on this video. Ive been doing a ton of phyto research

[@tomyoung7757]

Am I crazy if I'm dosing 300mls tetraselmus per day to my 150g tank? Also why freeze and feed dead phyto? Mine is fresh, live, never frozen or even refrigerated.

[@reefermadness4891]

When I dose phytoplankton it's for my micro fauna population, I never really thought it was for the corals

[@slything1749]

I bought phyto because of 0/0 nitrates/pho and to combat dinos.. my tank Is full of softies and honestly I'm shocked at the difference after dosing. They look so happy the next day

[@fishstix1988]

how long do you keep the protein skimmer off and socks out while you dose? When you say dose at night, you mean when all lights are out?

[@lunes-1]

I got some phytoplankton 3 months ago,but is still on my fridge.

[@irishlad7458]

Is that because of the fertilzer in the mix you raise phos and nitrate

[@ianawesome4875]

Love the down to earth Chat!

[@homegrownreefer]

great video, thank you and keep the videos coming!

[@lonestarpatriot876]

I used to dose Phyto, however, I never noticed a benefit that I did not get with something like Reef Roids. To my understanding, most corals don't feed on Phyto as it is the Zooanthalia that provides the energy to the coral. This is a hotly debated topic to say the least.

[@gerardogomez5343]

Idk man, coral shop I get my corals from feed only phytoplankton and they are the best looking corals

[@apdroidgeek1737]

you need to dose live phytoplankton to get the full benefits... live phytos wont foul your tank

[@ajjw0828]

Wondering about how long phyto will last in fridge and if you turn off your skimmer when adding? Thanks!

[@FishOfHex]

Video soon

Can you compare life phyto to dried phyto? Will it have the same effect?

[@FishOfHex]

never used dry phyto

[@apdroidgeek1737]

i dosed live phytoplankton and now my aquarium is cloudy

[@DoubleCFit]

Great information. Does it set off your skimmer?

[@FishOfHex]

if i dose it along with reef fuel and acro power yes but dosing it alone no

[@samauri_nemisis856]

How much photoplankton do you put in a 14 gallon mini reef kit

[@FishOfHex]

About 13.5 gallons

[@boomcar911]

@@FishOfHex I tried this on my 14 g, shit the polp extension on my fish are damn amazing! I will continue dosing 13.5 gallons every second day!

[@jjmccloud]

I like your excuse to keeping the glass dirty 🤣🤣🤣 its a win win

[@RealEngineer]

What’s the name of the light/fixture you use for the aquariums?

[@CVas-ic7vd]

go check out his build vids I'm sure it's in there.

[@gabesreef]

Are you not using other products like reef roids because of the phyto or is this just another piece to the puzzle for you?

[@snjspring]

Bro, just found the channel but good stuff. Laughed at the shit eating puppies

[@wolfgirlhoro]

Does this increase nitrite?

[@FishOfHex]

A little

[@petesreef1891]
