I wonder if I keep dosing phyto every day or two, can keep the population...

Awesome, you have quite a few there.
From what I've read, they'll go as long as food lasts. Adding food every few days will certainly help. At some point the population will balance to the amount of food they have available to eat.
They'll eat loads of stuff, phyto, food scraps, etc.
