Phytoplankton

[Steved350]

So I have a small clam that I have been feeding Phytoplankton form AlgeaBarn. After testing my phosphates this weekend I came up with 0.11. Im not real surprised because I feed heavy but the only thing I have changed is adding the Phyto. Is Phyto Phosphate heavy?

Every cell contains phosphate in it's DNA so it is possible

That’s a good ? I am also researching this.

If your worried about phosphate rising to much you can stop the phyto feeding. As long as you have plenty of light that should be enough for the clam. They also filter feed on nutrients in the tank.
