A couple weeks ago, I ordered some live phyto and copepods from algaebarn. They were having a BOGO sale, and I decided to give it a go. Over the last two weeks I gradually increased the dosage of the phyto, and I'm now adding double the recommended dose.
I've noticed a significant decrease in the amount of algae on my glass. I was having to scrape every day or I would have a noticeable green film. Now, I can go a couple days before I see anything on the glass, and I'm getting more of a white film rather than green algae. Is this due to the phyto using nutrients before other algae can? I'm wondering if others have any similar experiences using live phyto.
