DT Phytoplankton - how to use?

[reefmack]

The directions are pretty vague - I can get the dosage down - but how do I feed my clams/corals DT phytoplankton? It's a dense green liquid - do I just pour it into the tank and let nature have it's way? every other day? I tried to spot feed it but doesn't work very well... (clams close up with water disturbances anyways)

help!

Clams don't like to be target feed, Just do as Neal has mentioned.

perfect... i was hoping it was so simple. nature can handle a lot by itself ;)

[reefhead]

the clams and corals arnt really eating the DT's, its the fauna in your sandbed that will feed off of DT's and in return, feed your corals.

Ninong or Spasse will explain better!

I think there's some disagreement on whether most corals will feed on phytoplankton. Some clearly do, like gorgs. Some people who are highly regarded are claiming that many sps will take phyto also. I think the consensus is that tridacnids will also feed on phyto.
