Feeding clean up grew during ich treatment

[Willbiker]

Hi!

I'm about to take my fish out of my 650l tank to start an 80 day ich starvation. I have 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 star, approx 15 nas and turbo snails and approx 15 hermits. Should I feed fish flakes during this period? I have an hair algae outbreak which I'm currently waiting for my new chaeto to sort out (along with water changes). With this algae present, do I need to feed or not? Or should I remove my 100 micron socks and stop catching detritus...what do you think?

Thanks

I would probably continue to feed flakes and just dial them WAY back. I think I'd also keep the socks in, but that's just me. Probably not necessary.
