Does dosing Phytoplankton help aquarium ecosystem?

[HildebrandRarity]

Hello all, just purchased some live phyto-plankton from algae barn and have added around 5-10ml each day for my 20 gallon aquarium, I do have some copepods and just received my first coral ever (A green mushroom coral) and a anemone and thought this would be a good option after doing research on phyto plankoton, any thoughts on dosing phyotplankton to your tank? So far it just seems my tank is a little more green/cloudy looking

its more for your copepod population, corals dont really eat phyto, the copepods eat the phytoplankton and then in turn the corals feed on the copepods.

Well I know your pod population loves it. Don’t go overboard with it and watch your nutrients.
