excuse my ignorance, what exactly is plankton good for? What is its significance? Is it food for something? Is it used for something? What do you personally use it for?

" Live Phytoplankton"
Microalgae are a source of micronutrients, vitamins, oils, protein, carbohydrates and iodine that provide essential pigments which enhance coloration and health in fish and invertebrates. Microalgae are used as a food source for filter-feeding mollusks such as clams, mussels, oysters and scallops; larval culture of shrimp, also beneficial in maintaining corals, sponges, barnacles, tube-worms, sea squirts, other filter-feeding invertebrates, main food source for copepods, rotifers and amphipods.
If you dosing phytoplankton to your aquarium you will make your live stock happy

Plankton it's two type
1 phytoplankton, it's microalgea type of micro plant cells in the water column
2 zooplankton, it's micro organic type of micro animal like copepods, amphipods etc.
