Photo and Selcon

Hi, SPS Gurus!

Anyone here dose Phytoplankton or mix their fish's food with Selcon? If so, have you seen any negative effects on SPS?

Let me know,
Joey

I always mix enough selcon to make my masstick for the fish. Corals seem to love that stuff also as I see increased Pylop extension. And if you have a copperband he will most likely love it also!

You can dose Phytoplanton sure, not sure I really noticed anything when I did. Nothing negative at least.

Thanks. I have a 65g water volume tank and a Squamosa clam that’s easily 10” long and 7” across and I don’t feel there’s enough biology for him so I dose 2ml of phyto twice a week.

My understanding is that when a clam gets that big they use mainly the light for their food/energy. I usually hear people supplementing Phyto on clams that are 3in or under.

But the phyto will help feed all the microfauna so I say you keep doing it, and at only 2ml in a 65 you shouldn't see any issues.

I dose phytoplankton every day in my tank, I notice only positives and no negatives from it. I also use Selecon and Vitachem on alternate days, with only positive results.
