SRC Member BarraCudaTM Posted May 23, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted May 23, 2008 Nope, you will grow hair algae, diatoms or cyanobacteria if you dose the fertilizer directly into your sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrianlau Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Phyto can't be trapped in the sump. it will flow into your main tank, and I don't think you'll want green water in your main tank. Can share how to grow phyto? I understand it is difficult, that's why I've got to use Instant Algae (dead phyto) to feed my rotifer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
