    I just did my normal trip to Paradise today, and Kevin started dosing gold and green phyto in one of his cubes, it's really made his hammer coral open up along with the rest of his corals. Do any of y'all dose phyto? If so what kind.

    Hiya,

    I dose something else, but I saw that hammer coral the other day. It is huge compared to what it normally is. I may have to switch once I've used my other stuff.

    Picked up my first bottle of green phyto today I will give you a update in a couple days. Hopefully it won't just Feed my hair algae

    I've been dosing acropower, and all my euphyllia have been opened really large, especially the hammer corals. I've noticed my octospawn is really starting to grow. I dunno if it's from dosing, or something else. But it for sure isn't hurting.

    Where'd you get that from? So far dosing this green phyto I haven't really noticed a difference yet on any of my corals, however this is on the 3rd day of dosing. I'm looking for something to make everything explode. I currently dose microvert, and now green phyto, maybe I can change it up and get better benefit

    Not sure you'd see a big difference in your corals. I've dosed green live phyto since I started my 155 and it hasn't fed GHA at all best I can tell. Keeps all the micro critters happy (pods etc). I also have a population of sponges I'm keeping as well so they should enjoy it. I really doubt LPS that usually enjoy meaty fares would care about phyto.

    Nah same leds I've had since start up. I'm thinking about getting 2 t5s for some more deep purple light, but haven't done so yet
