...every nite around 8pm and yes changeup the food. I give flake and pellets every nite and rotate different frozen .

+1 This is pretty much my routine as well.

One of the frozen foods I like to use is Marine Cuisine (pre-mixed Mysis, fortified Brine, etc.)

Wow. Such varying opinions.

Seems like I'm overfeeding my tank! LOL

Ajilon - Feeding requirements vary depending on your livestock. Perhaps if you listed out your inhabitants you'd get a better idea what is necessary.

I to find it interesting people don't list the livestock they are feeding.

I have 6 large Tangs and multiple other high energy fish. I feed alot of food twice a day.

High flow, large skimmer, and BB with large fuge. Allows me the ability to overfeed my fish. They are all healthy and fat and enjoy life...


Happy Reefing

I try to feed flake in the morning/afternoon and frozen in the evening.

In our nano, we have a few zoas, some star polyps, a bunch of mushrooms, a sun coral, a cleaner shrimp, and a couple of snails and hermit crabs. We feed the tank cyclopeeze and mysis every 2 to 3 days; spot feeding the sun coral. Once a week, we put a very small amount of coral frenzy in.

For our AGA92, we plan to keep the following:

5 - Astrea Snails
5 - Margarita Snails
