Phyto is part of the food web. The problem with phyto is just like any other food source, it has to be fed properly since we have closed systems. Done right culturing lower life forms and feeding on a 24/7 slow dose bases will help with nutrients.
DT's is not great as a starter culture, it contains to many different species, sticking to just one is much easier. Then using those cultures to feed zooplankton cultures or pod cultures will yield great results if fed to the system properly.
