Newbie feeding question

[kookerson]

So it seems that my tank is finally starting to pick up, as I am starting to get live stock that is more and more interesting....but I would like to make sure that I am feeding my live stock correctly. So far, I have a cleanup crew of about 20 crabs/snails, a scooter blenny, a cave transparent goby, a serpent star and a ocellaris clown. Everyday I put in about 1/3 a cube of mysis and about a 1/4 cap of DT's Phytoplankton in every other day........is there anything I should change?

I would start rotating the food more. Perhaps some frozen Formula 1 or 2, and maybe some Cyclop-Eeze. Variety is good!

1/4 of a cap of DT's isn't very much. You could just discontinue it altogether, for that matter, unless the tank has filter feeders or you're trying to increase the small animal population.

I feed my corals DT two to three times a week max and my fish Formula 1 or Mysis daily (enough so they eat 5 to 10 minutes). Also when feeding DT, don't forget to turn your skimmer off for a couple of hours.

I dont have very many filter feeders at all, I figured that the DT's would help bring some micro-life up.....thanks for the input!
