Feeding fish (how often )

[SaltwaterTanks]

Hey guys how often do you feed your fish? Everyday with frozen food or Every other day with frozen and a mixture of pebbles in between days? Let me know.

 

[Jason mack]

I feed my fish twice a day .. morning and night ... i feed frozen food and sometimes flakes

 

[Dburr1014]

I fed one a day. I always mix it up with flake, pellets, or frozen.

 

[Crashjack]

I feed 3x per day. I have a rotation of various foods (mostly frozen) that I feed morning and evening and then a fish feeder that feeds an assortment of pellets in the middle of the day. This doesn’t inclilude feeding dry seaweed on a clip 3x per week, or coral food 3x per week (fish eat that too).

Feeding will always spike nutes if left unchecked. This is where good CUC and filtration come into play.

 

[ScubaZ]

I do Twice a day usually with frozen food

 

[ca1ore]

My tank consumes a huge amount of food. 12-15 cube equivalents per day, spread over 3-4 feedings. Nori, pellets and varied frozen. Over 100 fish in a 450. You just have to have sufficient nutrient export mechanisms. Ammonia is not the problem.

 

[pdiehm]

every other day I feed about a 1/3" x 1/3" cube into the biocube, and a 1/2" x 1/2" cube into the "display" which is a 40 breeder for the moment.

Purple tang, 2 clowns, royal gramma, pj cardinal, and a wrasse.
I must say though, I have a ton of pods running around the tank.

 

[themcfreak]

I have 84 gallon with 5 fish in it, and an assortment of corals. I usually feed 1 cube (not full size, frozen sheet cut into squares) in the morning and evening (evening soaked in Selcon). I also usually do a nori sheet in the morning. I feed coral food once daily (Reef chili one night, oyster eggs the next). For a long time I was trying to raise nutrients from 0. I have them above zero now and rising, but not high enough that I need to cut back.

 

[Jesterrace]

On my 90 gallon with 5 fish, I feed a small chunk of LRS Reef Frenzy 2x a day and seaweed 1x a day.

 

[Kmsutows]

From 4 to 9pm small amounts 4-5 times. Mix of several different frozen foods and nori. I have between 20 and 25 fish. A very different assortment from marine betta to jawfish to deep water anthias.
