Prob a stupid question but what do you mean and how do I know if I should be feeding my tank phyto ?

phytoplakton is a very very small (like microscopic to slightly bigger than microscopic) food which is utilized mainly by corals as dietary supplement.

Do you target feed with it ? or do you feed the entire tank ?

I just put about 4 capfuls in the tank.

Phyto is mainly fed upon by soft corals whereas sps prefer carnivorous fare. Many lps will consume either.

I target feed some to my clam and just let the rest flow through the tank (all pumps off for the clam, then PH back on, then main goes back on).
