How much food is enough for a group of fish this size? All the tangs are pretty good size and good eaters. Been doing 2 cubes of sfb mysis a day with about 3 small pinches of nls 1mm pellets mixed in, then the auto feeders are set to feed 3 times per day and each time they dump about 3 medium sized pinches. Also the tangs get a half a sheet of nori per day minimum, and I have been doing a full sheet since we put the powder blue in there to keep everyone happy. Everyone seems to clean up all the food each time we feed, theres never anything left over, :lol:

What are some opinions on feeding amounts?

No food should reach the substrate and all food should be consumed within a few minutes.

The food is consumed so fast that I dont want to look away so a few minutes is way longer than it lasts lol. I think food hits the substrate when I dump in mysis, with the powerheads going it pushes the stuff around a little. They dont mess around though, they get all the food that hits the sand from what I can tell.

Corals mounted to the rocks. Need to do some clean up on the pumps and a few different things but its a starting point. Dont mind the nori feeder, it was feeding time 10 mins before this was taken and I forgot to pull the feeder for the photo :lmao:...

Just fed the fish and timed it food is gone in 1 minute.
