Hi,

i have a question.

heard from a LFS that you dun really need to dose phytoplankton..

ad every time you clean your glass tank, scrubbing out the algae growth counts as a source of phytoplankton.

is is true??

Not all algae are phytoplankton. But all phytoplanton are considered algae. I know that diatoms, cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates are also categorized as phytplankton. I don't know whether the film algae on the glass are too. However, I stopped dosing after discovering more than the usual algae growth on the glass. 

IMO, you don't have to dose unless you have phytoplankton dependents  in your tank. Fish poop and coral food are usually enough. Nevertheless, I suggest you research further. There are abundant information on the NET about it to either enlighten or confuse you.  :D
