Ok so I have done some research and have started to culture my own phytoplankton but how do I know that what I'm growing is actually phytoplankton and not just algae growing. If anyone has some insight into this please let me know. Thanks
 
Algae is phytoplankton. There are marine types and freshwater types.
 
Um what tank? If you add phytoplankton into your tank it will most likely be filtered out into your filter. I don't have a saltwater tank I have just been culturing freshwater phytoplankton for my fresh water zooplankton.
 
Looks great! I would just target feed your corals im sure someone here could tell you how much
