FEEDING FISH!!! How and why have you changed over the years???

[Glenner’sreef]

So I’ve slowed down in recent months feeding my tank. I have a Copperband Butterfly and 2 Sunburst Anthias. Both need more feeding than your average Wrasse or Tang. Yes I have Wrasses and Tangs, fat Wrasses and Fat Tangs.
All that to say, I’ve made an observation. Tanks that have a welcome abundance of coralline algae are tanks that have no problem initially growing coralline. I’m cutting back to see if there’s any amount of truth to my observation.
1. What about you? Have you increased or decreased your feeding and if so why? Thx.

I've increased my feeding by 25%, so I now have 2x frozen and 4x pellet in addition to the 4x seaweed 'rocks' that go into the tank daily.

Plump fish are healthy fish, and healthy fish are happy fish. And happy fish means a happy reefer.

(Above) The tanks that have the healthy coralline are often ones that have lower nitrates and feed less. I’ve seen this on numerous tanks. That’s not to say heavy feeder don’t enjoy and abundance of coralline.
