Far as I know if you are scraping the glass, then you don't need to dose anything.
Yes and no. I was actually referring to the cleaner shrimp being so hungry as well as the hermit.

The bigger the clam the more efficient they are at using photosynthesis, but under 3" which most maximas are these days they do need to be supplemented with phyto. I add a squirt or two once maybe twice a week for now. Although I have cut down quite a bit like I had mentioned earlier.
