How Much Do You Feed Your Tank

[stevieduk]

i feed mine 1 cube every other day. Thats not on the list. Like to keep them lean and mean, and keep the tank healthier

21 fish - 6-8 cubes per day. Anthias like to eat.

I know that I’m over feeding but it’s intentional at this point. I have a copperband Butterfly that was on a hunger strike upon arrival. I struggled to find food it would eat until I tried LRS Reef Frenzy. Now, I’m just working to get her back to a healthy weight. Additionally, I’ve added three tangs that, even after medicated QT, they picked up ich. I can’t catch them without causing more harm so I’m feeding nori and pellets soaked in Selcom to help boost their immune system and fight through it.
I feed twice a day, enough that it’s gone within 10min. What the fish don’t eat, the anemone and NPS coral pick up.

Nitrates and phosphates are embarrassingly high and I’m currently working to get them back in check.

I do 1 to 2 cubes a day, half in morning and half in evening, along with some seaweed extreme pellets in the morning. I have 16 fish, my biggest is a yellow tang and every thing else is smaller. 2 clowns, 2 clown gobies, a fire fish, a sand goby, a couple cardinals, 4 wrasses, a chromis , a RGB and a valentini puffer. Everyone is growing and happy.

Newbie here so any critiquing is ok.75 G Tank 3 months old, no sump, run HOB protein skimmer, just started adding some simpler corals,
stock list:
3 damsels(domino,3 stripe, blue devil) I know , I know....they were first test fish and didn't expect them to make it
coral beauty
ocelarus clown
bangai cardinal
scooter blenny
skunk cleaner shrimp
5-8 hermit crabs
3 asst snails (going today to buy 10-15 more)
I feel I over feed but find it hard to regulate feeding frozen with turkey baster....I give 4-5 squirts per feeding twice a day of frozen cubes that ive mixed with tank water and allowed to defrost in fridge
I turn off wave maker and protein skimmer while I feed so that some of food drifts down for skooter and I give cardinal a squirt of his own since hes hiding up in corner (only been in tank 2 days)after 5 mnutes I turn waver back on and 10 minutes later turn skimmer back on to clean things up. this seems to be working but I worry im not feeding enough of a mix and that im overfeeding

I'm sure I've forgotten someone

In QT since they are brand new and noone goes into DT until they pass QT - Royal Gramma and Stripped Dottyback

Mixed Reef varying from softies and zoas to LPS & SPS and with all of this - we would love some Xenia but it melts every time we put it in so we gave up on Xenia

Tank is 2 years old and started out FOWLR then switched to Mixed Reef when we had to go fishless due to ICH and didn't want an empty tank
