how much do i feed corals and fish?

[Ro Bow]

I will have a 20 gallon saltwater aquarium with corals and fish. I saw rods food and it looks like a good choice. i now i should feed my fish twice a day, but how much do i feed the fish? how many milligrams or whatever. Thanks

Please provide a list of your fish and corals! Most (but not all) corals do not need supplemental feedings if fish are in the tank.

There's no exact answer here. For my fish, I make sure each of the fish get a bit with each feeding while also making sure that the rest isn't falling to the sand. If you can give a little pinch so they all eat and the rest isn't going to waste dispersing to the rest of your tank, you should be fine. If you feel like they can take another little pinch, drop in a bit more.

As for corals, I'm not sure which kind you have but most don't even need to be fed to thrive. I feed mine reef roids like once a week when I'm bored, but I haven't seen stunning results of using it opposed to not feeding. I feel like it's more for me than anything.

I will have a hammer, pulsing xenia, some montiporas, and zoanthids and maybe some more
