Feeding

[tanyamikephil]

Hi, I wanted to get some info on how everyone feeds their tanks..Im always worried I'm feeding it to much, or not enough.

I have 6 fish, and 3 meat eating anemone's. I feed once a day in a 55 gallon tank. Is 1 of the frozen cubes of food a day to much? I also target feed once a week and every other day give a squirt of food for the filter feeders.

Would love to get some feedback on good habits, tips etc

I feed as minimal as possible. I have 3 fish which all eat pellets, so I feed them every other day. I also have a sun coral which is fed frozen mysis every 3 days. I just take a turkey baster to feed them. I also give my trumpet coral and acans some mysis while I'm in there.

I only have a 24 gallon, so I want to try and keep my excess nutrients as minimal as possible.

sadly there is not a set amount per critter rather it is a learned skill. The only tip I can give is to feed small amounts to figure out how much they will take. It is easier to add a little more than try to remove to much.

As much science as there is behind our tanks there is just as much learned skill as well. good luck just my 2 cents.
