Automated Phyto dosing
I have a pretty good supply of phyto cultures these days. I was wondering about auto dosing it to the tank.
I could keep it aerated and lit in my stand, then just run a dosing pump to dump in some after lights out and an hour before lights on. Anyone see any problems with this? Since it is a living culture no worries with it not being refridgerated.

It was the same as if I dumped a cup or two in every couple of days. I think phyto helps pe among other things. I also dose rotifers. I think it helps with the overall health of the tank.
