Have any of you built a phytoplankton/zooplankton reactor that was that fed directly into the main system.

I haven't gotten the stuff to start mine yet, but this is where I got the directions on how to do it.

Follow those instructions, then just do a drip dose?
A feed of new water into the phyto, phyto overflows into the sump...?

Well, Marc doses his tanks with a measuring cup, not a drip system. I haven't located info on setting up a drip yet but will look for it.
