Feeding recommendations

[tdowning]

Good evening R2R community. I’m just looking for some recommendations for how often to, and what to feed my fish. I have a 150 gallon tank w/ 55 gal sump. The tank is about 3 months old and I have stocked it with a 6 year old blue hippo tang, Desjardini Sailfin tang, powder brown tang, (2) frostbite clownfish and a beautiful magnificent fox face. Any input that you have would be greatly appreciated! All fish are doing well, but I want to make sure they are all getting a well balanced diet, and enough food to leave each other alone

Thanks again for the input!

The tangs are going to want an almost constant source of seaweed to nibble on. And youll probably need to feed two to three times a day either frozen food or pellet. #reefsquad any tang feeding recommendations? My tanks to small for a tang;Hilarious

A high quality and varied diet of LRS reef frenzy and reef nutrition foods will provide much needed nutrition. I agree with some seaweed in the tank as well.

I’m thinking about doing a frozen feeding before I leave for work in the morning, followed by some seaweed when I get home from work, and then another frozen feeding before I go to bed. I really want to make sure that the Foxface is getting a good nutrition source instead of just relying on the daily seaweed.

I also use a product called Limpets...it’s a great frozen food that is meant to feed the entire tank’s inhabitants.

Would it make any difference to do seaweed in two different locations in the tank, so they aren’t all competing for the same food source?

Couldn't hurt so long as you take out the uneatened food so it doesn't cause nutrient spikes

I feed LRS "Reef Frenzy" / "Fish Frenzy" and Sally's Seaweed Salad with a clip.

I rotate the frozen, but I feed the Sally's Seaweed daily for the tang's immune systems.

The LRS "Herbi. Frenzy" is a good choice too.
