Ok, here is the deal. I have a newish 30 gal that is full of soft corals, 2 O Clowns, and 1 Royal Gama, and cleaning crew.

When my tank first cycled (4 weeks ago) my first fish were the 2 O Clowns. My LFS told me to feed Omega One pellets and everything was fine.'

Then over 3 weeks I fill my tank with corals. I hear along the line that people feed corals so I buy zooplankton. I was feeding a little hear and there.

Then I buy more corals and a different LFS tells me to feed frozen mysid shrimp to fish and corals. The fish love it and the corals close up and devour it.

So, now I have pellets, zoopankton, and mysid shrimp. When I feed the shrimp it seems like a lot is floating around even if I do a little but everybody loves it.

How often should I feed the shrimp? Should I still feed the clowns the pellets once a day? I don't want to overdue it causing parameter issues. I was thinking just mysid every other day and maybe zoopankton once a week? You see how this can be confusing for a newbie!!

Thank You
 
the shrimp will catch food that's uneaten. i feed my clowns every other day. my corals i feed at night oposite of the day i feed the fish. target feed them with a turkey baster. (cylopleeze or mysis, or fish goo -food i make for them)

also don't give them alot sometimes it's not how many times you feed them as in the quanity you feed them.
