I do not dose phyto solely for clams, nor do I ever intend too. Studies show minimal benefits if any, as significance was lacking with results (growth - mantle, shell, etc.) in the range of standard deviation. Other genus of bivalves utilize filter feeding; however, the evolution of the extraordinary ability to photsynthesize allows the clam to survive in lower nutrient waters of the reef habitat, as compared to the estuary setting of filter feeding organisms. This is all just my opinion. The minimal amount of phyto I do dose is to provide food for microorganisms, which in turn generate more live food (via in-tank reproduction of pods, tubies, etc.).
