In this particular instance, I personally thought the dose of every day was high.
I am a believer in add critters as needed, like any pod / invertebrates, like after a cycle, when algae phase in starting in, when the tank itself can support the life.
I think a mature tank has sufficient amount of food for these creatures to graze on if maintained / nutrient balanced properly.
They are essentially a food source & cuc, a tool, to add excessive nutrients to a tank in support of a tool can become counterproductive, now I agree with proper control as needed, phyto can lead to positive results. But let face it, most tanks are not ULN and can't nor need to support extra phytoplankton.
Especially in small systems where export is limited.
I do love and use your products, but when new reefers start adding foods in excess or little knowledge of control to feed an animal of this sort, instead if letting the tank just come to equilibrium with itself and mature, it can lead to disaster.
Sorry, but it goes along the lines of people adding excessive snails, urchins, & fish to combat an algae, when they have an inch of detritus under their rocks,....as an example.
Is it beneficial, definitely yes, but more controlled and probably with more experience balancing nutrients. Each tank and thread will have and should have different opinions based on the facts. I have one tank where I should be adding phyto, another... Not so much.
