Wondering if anyone has had any experience with DT Phytoplankton. Do all corals feed on this stuff? How do I feed this to corals ( just drop some in or do I have to actually pipette this stuff down to them )? Any comments on this or any other coral food you reccomend, or feeding techniques would be nice.

Thanks in advance!

I have a 40 gallon also.
I use Kent Phytoplankton and use it twice a week at 5 ml's.
The DT product I hear is really good. The forms of phytoplankton plants are esentially the begining of the food chain, Zooplankton would be next in the chain.
Every thing eats Phytoplankton so follow the products instructions and monitor your Phosphate,Nitrate/Nitrite levels At least Bi-weekly.

DT's is great for polyps, leathers, any of your "softer" corals. But for things like brains, frogspawns, torch, and corals like that need zooplankton which the best product i have found is called cyclopse (s.p?) i wouldnt feed the "dead" stuff in a bottle simply because it is dead and live is always better
